Layering a card with Hippest Hippos and the Hippo Dies from July-August 2022 Sale-a-bration brochure is today’s theme.
It took me ages to figure out how they made those waves in the sample card in the brochure. We were still in the pre-order phase and I had limited supplies. I didn’t realise that the waves were in fact from a pack of Designer Series Papers in the July-December 2022 mini as a Host Reward called Celebrate Everything. The pack contains 48 sheets of 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) designer series paper, 4 sheets each of 12 double sided designs.
Typical of me, instead of waiting, I rifled through my existing stash to see how I could make those waves. I thought I could use the “negative” pieces of the cloud border die to make the waves and then colour them with pool party blends.
The hippo sporting sunglasses on the “high” seas makes me smile. Quite appropriate to be in a boat near the sea to cool down so long as you stay out of the midday sun!
