Lets be honest if its cute you want you can find plenty in my craft room, I can remember when I first started cards, if you made a cute card serious card makers were horrified. Thankfully not today.
Once I got over which cute Clearly Besotted stamp to use I decided Rainy Day Play and you can see the new Mary Poppins film as influenced me since I my hippos are falling from the sky. Using Simon says Stamp Stitched Rectangle for my main image mat I inked the edges to give a impression of the sky and grass.
Usually when I colour I also chose my patterned papers this time I didn't and rather than spend ages to find one to match I made my own. I cut 1cm strips of some scraps of red, blue and yellow and stuck then onto thin card,cut down so the Simon says Stamp Scallop Frame from their Frames set to fit on top.
All that was left was to add a sentiment since I wanted a Birthday one and since the Simon says Stamp I'ts no Secret is fairly new to me I used one from that set.
Do you use Instagram ? If so please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too.

These hippos are definitely cute and such fun Debby, and the colours work beautifully especially the diagonal stripes to match the colours of the umbrellas, the boots and the sweet little duck, and I love the scalloped frame. A gorgeous card. x
