Project Recipe
Create a Melon Mambo card base cut at 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".
Layer on the card base front a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock cut at 5 3/8" x 4 1/8".
Add a piece of Artistry Blooms patterned paper cut at 4" x 5 1/4".
Die cut the accent pieces using one of the dies from Hippo & Friends. I used Bermuda Bay cardstock.
Add the accent pieces to the card front.
Use a stamparatus to create the hippo using the two-step process.
I stamped the body in Petal Pink and the overlay in Melon Mambo. I finished it off by added the face using Tuxedo Black ink.
Die cut the hippo using the Hippo & Friends dies.
Next, cut the shape using one of the Hippo & Friends dies.
Use dimensionals to attach the hippo to the die cut background.
Again use dimensionals to adhere the piece to the card front.
On a 1/2" strip of white cardstock, stamp the sentiment in Bermuda Bay ink and add it to the card front.
Add a white bow as shown in the photo.
