YOU'RE ON MY MIND HAPPY HIPPOS

Oh my gosh, when I saw this stamp set and dies, I just had to earn them!  The hippos are so precious and the dies are so universal to have lots of sun with.  This was just my first attempt at a card with the set but I hope to have more fun.  I have seen so many cute ideas.  I don't have a photo of the card as I mailed it as soon as I made it and forgot to take a snap shot of it but this shows the stamp set and the coordinating dies.



YOU’RE ON MY MIND HAPPY HIPPOS

HOW TO ASSEMBLE:

  1. Adhere the Tahitian cardstock to the card front.
  2. On the small piece of white cardstock, stamp your hippo, color her in, die cut her out and set aside. (optional) stamp hippo on envelope front and color her in.
  3. Set the larger piece of white cardstock on the Stamparatus and stamp the sentiment. (optional)Using the blending brush and the pink ink, shade the background. Stamp grass.

The process I used to do this is the same process to create wreaths.  I had fun with it and I will be trying to make cards with wreaths using this method at a later date.

HAPPY  BIRTHDAY
