Today I share a card with you that I made using the cute hippo from the set Es ist serviert/ Served up.

The second challenge is the one that you can find on the blog. This month the theme is:
And I knew I wanted to make this card for a good friend of mine who turned 40 a few days ago.

Did you realize? I created it a longer tray so the 40 could fit on it. I stamped the hippo but masked of the right end of the tablet with washi tape. After that I inked up only the tray but not the left side, positioned the stamp at teh right place and stamped again.
