Hey Everyone

Are you ready for a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches? I am, because it’s my turn to be sketch hostess! I’ve created the following sketch for you as the starting point to your creations.

As usual when I design a sketch I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to create. After playing around with the Jingle Jingle Jingle Stamp Set for about an hour, I gave up on it and went with these cute-as hippos from the Hippest Hippos Stamp Set. The even come with matching dies, called Hippos Dies, and can be yours during Sale-A-Bration when you spend $180 (AU)!

The first hippo has been coloured with the Pale Papaya Blends and the tummy and snout lightly watercoloured with Smoky Slate Ink. The second hippo has been coloured with my Smoky Slate Blends, Polished Pink Blends and watercoloured tummy and snout. The third hippo has been coloured with the Pool Party Blends and watercoloured tummy and snout.

The boat, waves, grass and flowers were all die cut with dies from the Hippo Dies. There are so many cool dies in this set that you can use – they seriously are incredibly versatile and cute as can be!

The designer series paper in the background was added because it pairs with the pink in the tutu of the hippo. This DSP is from the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper Pack. This pack is part of the Wonderful World Bundle (comprising of DSP & Wonderful World Stamp Set)- also available during Sale-A-Bration when you spend $180 (AU).

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome cards with my sketch. Head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
