We are celebrating my granddaughter's 10th birthday today. I have been itching to ink up the Safari Ballet stamp set. Isn't that hippo in a tu tu adorable?
My hippo is watercolored. After numerous unsatisfactory attempts at watercoloring my hippo, I decided to "cheat". I took a small piece of watercolor paper and watercolored the entire sheet of paper a light gray. I used a little paint and a lot of water to lighten the gray for the hippo. After the paint dried, I stamped the hippo with Memento Ink and then added color with our ShinHan markers. And then I fussy cut my hippo so that I could pop her up and give her some dimension.
The silver frame behind the Bokeh patterned paper was made using our Silver Foil tape and then I made a frame using strips from another one of the Kaleidoscope patterned papers.

Fun hippo! Good idea to add some sparkle to her tutu. :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I really love how you cut and pieced the pattern paper around your hippo. I also really like the bling on her tutu.
