Clearly Besotted Teasers | Hippo Christmas

Hello there and welcome to day four of the Clearly Besotted July 2020 Teasers. Only one more sleep till the new stamps hit the shops tomorrow! For my project today, I am using two new sets - All Four Seasons Hippos and Scene It Around II. These teeny tiny hippos are just the cutest ever!
 

I started off by taking the hippo with the Christmas hat on from the Clearly Besotted All Four Seasons Hippos Stamp Set on to white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then made a mask for him and stamped the winter image from the Clearly Besotted Scene It Around II Stamp Set on top. I removed the mask and then coloured the image using Copic Markers (the colours that I used are listed below the supplies area).
 
 
The image was then cut out using a Hero Arts Nesting Circles Infinity Die. Using a size bigger, I then used the die set to cut two pieces of Hero Arts Nautical Cardstock for the card base. I scored one piece towards the top to make a hinge and then cut a small sliver off the bottom so that the card would stand up nicely. This piece was adhered to the other circle to make the card base. The image panel was adhered to the front with foam tape.
 
 
I then cut a further circle from white cardstock and cut the top and bottom off so that it fitted inside the card. I took the sentiment from the Clearly Besotted Saying Stuff Stamp Set and stamped it using Memento Paris Dusk Ink. The piece was then adhered inside the card with tape runner. To finish off, I added white gel pen dots to the image for snow.
