Whimsy Stamps - Hippo Fun in The Sun...

Hello everyone, 

I'm wishing you all a super day, even if the days are a little odd right now!

I have a cute card to show you today, from a Whimsy Stamps April 2020 New Release stamp set that is just so fabulous it keeps selling out!

This was such a fun card to make.

I first blended blue ink (Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide) over a piece of smooth card and then stamped the brilliant

Illusions Background Stamp

onto it and heat embossed it in white.

I then trimmed the background into a 13cm square and set it aside.

Next I stamped one of the hippo's and the bucket & spade onto a piece of white card and coloured them with Copic Markers

Hippo - T5, T3, T1, R11, BG0000, BG10

Reds - R59, R46, R27, R14

Blue/Greens - BG09, BG49, BG45, BG32

Sand - E37, E35, E33, E31

Then I cut the images out and put them to one side. 

I created a 10cm by 13cm rectangle of white card and ice cut a square aperture  in the top half of it as shown

I fixed the rectangle to the illusions background with 
Crafty Foam Tape
and stamped the oopsie sentiment in black onto the bottom right hand corner.

Finally I fixed the cheeky hippo and the bucket and spade to the card design with foam tape as shown.
