Dancing Hippo Thank You

 As I mentioned, Mom's been creating!!  She borrowed my new Alphabest Bundle (can't wait to use it!) to add the "message" to her sample! And, Mom loves the "wobbles" to make her "dance"!  It's so darn, stinkin' cute!!


Measurements:  

  • Real Red: 4" x 5 1/4", 1/4" x 3 3/4" strip, scraps
  • Thick White: 1/2 sheet
  • Basic White: 4" x 8", 3 3/4" x 5", scraps
To Make This Card:

  • Attach Real Red layer to folded Thick White base.
  • Place letters spaced on one block and stamp in Memento Black. Next punch out with label punch.  Set aside.
  • Die cut 3 flowers from REal Red scraps. Set aside.
  • Stamp "dancing hippo" in Memento Black ink onto scrap of White.  Color with Blends as shown and cut out with corresponding hippo die.
  • Die cut "umbrella" from White as well. Also color this with Blends. 
  • Next, take White layer and using a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink, color in a "stage.  Then, attach to card front.
  • Lay out remaining pieces in a desired fashion.  The "hippo" is on a "Wobble" and the "umbrella" popped up with several Mini Dimensionals.  The "labels", and "flowers" are adhered flat.  Note: Mom added the strip of red, because she felt it needed some "grounding".
  • FIish with rhinestones of your choice in the center of flowers.

  • Stamp "hippo" of your choice in Memento Black.  Color in with desired Blends.  Cut out with corresponding die.
  • Attach "hippo" to "wobble" and then mount onto desired punched or die cut circles. (I think Mom used retired punches).
