Celebrating a successful Hip Hoperation!

We recently returned from an absolutely fantastic holiday.  Fantastic apart from bringing CoVid home with me.  It was my third time and, as CoVid experiences go, it wasn't too bad but it's thrown my sleep patterns out and I know I won't be up early enough to post my card so I'm doing it now.  My teamies at  Everybody Art Challenge are still enjoying their summer break so I looked up some challenges to play along with and used this Penny Black stamp designed by Mo Manning for my card.  If you don't have the rubber version (which I used today), this cutie is also available digitally at Mo’s Digital Pencil store.  She is called Nurse and you can find her here! My card is for a beautiful friend to celebrate the success of her recent successful hip operation.   I found this fun "Hip Hip Hooray" stamp in my stash and I added a teeny tiny little cut out band-aid on the teddy's hip. 


Mo has a Facebook page where members can upload their Mo Manning creations HERE and the Dream Team Blog always has lots of inspiration from my talented teamies HERE.

Mo also has a "Patreon" Page HERE. 
There are three levels of Patron to choose from with a minimum of just $2.50 per month (plus tax where applicable) and each month Mo offers treats to her patrons.  

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

Cupcake Inspirations - #576 Turquoise Red & Yellow
Passion for Markers -#703 Let's Celebrate Hip Hip Hooray for a successful Hip Replacement

Penny Black Saturday August Anything Goes Optional one layer

Tic Tac Toe #222 I used the middle row of "checks, free, blue"
Time Out #245 Colourful.  Although I have used a relatively limited pallete, I think my card is pretty colourful especially with the added dots in the background.


   


Edited to add how delighted I am to have been chosen as a winner at Cupcake Inspirations and to be in the top picks at Passion for Promarkers!  Thank you so much
