Whimsy Stamps New Release - Hippo Fun In The Sun

Hello everyone, 

As it's 1st April today sees the start of 
Whimsy Stamps New Release!

I have decided to kick the week off with a fun stamp set
Ingredients from Whimsy Stamps

Other Ingredients
Hammermill Card
Black Ink Pad
Distress Oxide Ink pads in - Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap
Picket Fence Blender Brushes 
Copic Markers - Hippo's T5, T3, T1, R11, BG0000, BG10
Reds, R59, R46, R27, R14
Blue/Greens BG09, BG49, BG45, BG32
Sand E37, E35, E33, E31
Blue Glitter Card
Sequins
This card was great fun to make!

Firstly I stamped the cute hippos and coloured them with Copics.  I then cut them out with my Scan and Cut and set them aside.

Next I laid the Slimline Waves Die alongside a piece of card and blended distress inks over the card in roughly the right place to match up with the die.  I used a cloud template made with the Up In The Clouds Die Set and the Making Waves Stencil to create the sky and sea background.

I die cut the inky card and then put it back together as shown, fixing everything firmly to a piece of blue glitter card.

I fixed the hippos to the card as shown with foam tape.

I die cut a piece of card with the smallest cloud die and stamped a sentiment from the Hippos stamp set onto it.  I fixed the cloud to the card design with foam tape.
