It's all in the attitude and what this Hippo Sister is saying to me is, "I feel good and I look good!" I used the paper piecing technique to match her outfit to the polka dot scalloped layer behind her.
- Stamp hippo image two times, once on white card stock, and once on the decorative paper.
- Cut out Hippo Sister's outfit out of the decorative paper.
Even if you make a lee boo boo like I did cutting off a piece of her tutu, you can just adhere it in place and it's not noticeable on the finished card. :o)
- Add color to the Hippo image using Copics. You only need to add color to her face,
neck, arms and legs. Add grass beneath her feet.
- Cut Copic colored image with circle die cut. Cut scalloped layer.
- Assemble Card.
- On inside of card, add a piece of white card stock for the message and stamp dance shoes.

Your whole card is adorable Trena, but the ballet shoes on the inside just put it over the top cute! Nice work! :)
