Hello and welcome to the Sale-a-Bration Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using………you’ve guessed it……..Sale-a-Bration products. I have made a sweet diving hippo card using the Hippiest Hippos stamp set and the Rings of Love dsp, both Sale-a-Bration choices.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the diving hippo card, you will need:
Mint Macaron card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Rings of Love dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Starry Sky card
Using the seaweed images from the Whale Done stamp set I stamped the fronds of seaweed, in Evening Evergreen along the bottom of the panel dsp.

The fish were then stamped in Bermuda Bay ink. The stamped dsp was then added to the Starry sky layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then added to the Mint Macaron card base using the same liquid glue.

I stamped the sweet little hippo in Smoky Slate ink and used Smoky Slate Blends Pens to colour in the head and the body. Gray Granite Blends Pens were used to colour the tummy and face of the hippo.

I added a little Flirty Flamingo to the ears and the mouth.

The hippo was then die cut using the Hippo dies. I also die cut the snorkel and face mask from scrap Starry Sky card.

Using a Mint Macaron Blends Pen I coloured the white border around the die cut hippo, added the mask and snorkel with liquid glue and added the hippo to the card front on Dimensionals.
Such a pretty card. I hope you like it.
