Hippest Hippos for Freshly Made Sketches 544
Hello my stamping friends.
This project was created to play along with the Freshly Made Sketches 544 Challenge. Plus I had a team color challenge to play along in, so I crafted for both! So I decided to combine the two challenges and use the newest Sale-a-bration item I just received for this project today. Take a look at the Hippest Hippos Stamp Set and the coordinating Hippo Dies.

Let’s start with the sketch. Here is the sketch and link back to the Freshly Made Sketches Blog. Be sure to go and check out the other projects shared.
The color challenge issued by my Queen Bee, Barb Brimhall, at the BZB Stampers Team, was as followed:
So, here is the project I crafted…
I used the three colors given as my cardstock options. I paired a printed pattern sheet from the Rings of Love DSP, also from Sale-a-bration, as a background print strip. I cut that at 4” x 2”, and then cut a break in it to extend it from edge to edge of my Starry Sky cardbase, 8 ½” x 4 ¼”. The cut is hidden behind the other panels added. An easy cheat to save on DSP!
I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink on the cardbase, and heat embossed with White Emboss directly onto the Starry Sky card cardstock.
Okay then I die-cut two rectangles with the Scalloped Contours Dies from the Old Olive and Calypso Coral cardstock. I die-cut the umbrella element from the center of the Calypso Coral panel. Again the die-cut is hidden behind the Old Olive panel!
Next on Basic White cardstock I stamped my hippo with Memento Ink and then colored it with my Blends. I used Smokey Slate and Calypso Coral.
Then to add just a bit of bling, I used our Basic Rhinestone Gems to add a little sparkle to the umbrella!
Well, let me know what you think! Leave me a comment here on the blog.
