AAA Cards Challenge 258: Along the side sketch

It's time for another fun fortnightly challenge at AAA Cards and I have to be honest I struggled with this one a bit but when I see the other DT inspirational ideas it was like "why didn't I think of that". I personally like Challenges that make me think outside the box as I feel that helps me grow as a paperKRafter. Simply Clean and Simple's February Challenge is also a CAS card with the twist of "pink" so my card fits that description nicely too.

There's lots of room for anything goes, just remember to keep it Clean and Simple with some empty space as indicated on the sketch. Here's what I came up with and I've turned the sketch around.

It's pretty self-explanatory but was laughing, I made a whole mask of the hippo when I really only needed one foot/hoof. So I stamped the on point ballerina, made a mask, covered her up then stamped the floor. Removed my mask and Copic coloured it all up. As it was a one layer at this stage I thought I would be inspired by the fab cards one of the DT Sue Symens creates and she often uses a coloured card base, which I like as it breaks the white up a bit. It's appropriate the pink card I have chosen is called Ballet Slippers ;)
