Hip-Hippo-Ray Halloween is on the Way

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm soooo excited to share the Brass & Bliss Fall Release with you. I am showing off one of my favorite stamp sets from the release 36056 Halloween Hippos. They are just adorable and so unique in their little costumes.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What costume do you like best on the hippos?
A: Me? I like the mummy one

Card #1: Let's Meet for Treats

 

Step 1: I made my purple background with Brass & Bliss 4204 Bokeh Stencil. I used Color Fuse Set #6 Magenta and Lavender for the light and dark shades of purple with Brass & Bliss Large Blending Brushes.

Step 2: I  colored up the hippo with various shades of purple Copic Sketc Markers to match my background.

Step 3: I die-cut my background with Brass & Bliss 5176D Nested Deckle Rectangle Dies and made my tag with the Brass & Bliss 5514-02D Holiday Tags Dies. I stamped the cute sentiment on the tag and added the hippo to the edge.

Step 4: I mounted the tag at a diagonal to the center of my card. Then I added more sentiments from the Halloween Hippos set to the corners. I finished my card with some purple enamel dots.

Card #2: Hip-Hippo-Ray Halloween is on the Way

Step 1: I colored up the cute Brass & Bliss 36056 Halloween Hippos with Copic Markers. My grays were N5, N4, N3; Oranges YR18, YR68, YR16

Step 2: I made my background blending the Color Fuse Set #6 Magenta, Color Fuse Set #2 Apricot, and Color Fuse Set #12 Hearth to make a spooky sky.

Step 3: I splattered my background with white Copic Paint and black ink. I die cut the NEW Brass & Bliss 5726-03D Tree Cover Die out of black and mounted it to my background.

Step 4: I added my hippos to the bottom of the card with the tiny pumpkin and skull. Then put the bat above the little pumpkin hippo's head.

Step 5: I finished my card with the Hip-Hippo-Ray Sentiment on Brass & Bliss 5605-03D Off Set Tags Dies and mounting it to the top right side.
