Hippo Botanical with a twist - TRHD

Hello! I am going to share a  different way to use the Hippo Botanical stamp set from The Rabbit Hole Design's new release. I just love the flower from this set and thought it looked really lovely with the new Amanda stencil. I may have an unhealthy obsession with foam tape. I need to pop everything up, so why not make the flower pop?

I started out Blending Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn distress ink through the Amanda stencil. Then, I covered the whole panel with clear texture paste and put it to the side to dry.

 

Once that dried, I die cut it down to 4" x 5 1/4" and started with my flowers.

 

I stamped and fussy cut the hippo flower, the flower and the three lily pad leaves from the Hippo Botanical set. I colored the flowers in using R27, R37, R39, YR12, and YR07. I colored the leaves with YG00, YG05, and YG09. 

 

Next, I assembled my card. I adhered the leaf panel to my card base and added a brown frame I had in my stash. Then, I added foam tape to the smaller flower adhering it to the bigger flower lining it up just to cover the hippo image. Next,  I added my leaves and my flower to the card. I stamped out a sentiment from Sassy Sentiments on a strip of white cardstock and layered it over a piece of patterned paper. To finish off with a little sparkle, I ran my clear Wink of Stella over the leaves. I hope you like it!
