Brave Hippo - Pretty Pink Posh June Release Blog Hop

Good morning! I'm stopping by today with sweet little card to celebrate the BRAND NEW June Release from Pretty Pink Posh (also available in a bundle HERE if you just want it all!)! This fun new release is full of adorable jungle theme cuteness - inspired partly by Paulina's little baby, Zion! Keep reading for more info, details on my card I'm sharing today, AND of course, some giveaway info at the bottom as well!


I fell in LOVE with the adorable hippo from Jungle Additions stamp set the minute I spotted him in the release - so I knew that was going to be the critter on my first card with the release!

I stamped him at the bottom of my cardbase, and colored him in with Copics, also adding color underneath to "ground" the image.


I added a sentiment using a combination of Simple Sayings: Brave stamp set, and Simply Sentiments Stamp Set - a fabulous set of thin small sentiments that I LOVE so very much as well!


I also loved the fun Stitched Leafy Borders dies - and wanted to use them all! So I die cut them all from white cardstock, blending different colors of Distress Oxide over them to add color and added some white paint splatters and gold splatters with my Starry Colors palette. I then cut each one in half and layered them coming down from the top of my card. Once I adhered them down, I turned the card over and trimmed off any excess leaves so that it all fit on my cardfront.


Finished off with lots of sparkly jewels from the Citrus Jewels Mix pack - the colors were perfect for my card, and took all the guesswork out of coordinating them together!
