Check these cuties out…
You can find them in my store here.


So let’s take a look at the project. I have a confession – I LOVE Parakeet Party and once I start using it I can’t stop…can you tell?
I really wanted to have a go at colouring the cute little hippo with some watercolour pencils too. I’m not the best – but it was a start!

I wanted to create some ‘rolling hills’ for my dancing ballerina hippo to dance along in the rain and so I used the gorgeous Basic Borders dies to create some hills with the beautiful stitched edge. Using a Blending Brush and some Parakeet Party ink added some beautiful definition. The middle hill is actually cut from some of the Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper just for some shine and glimmer – and a touch of something different.

Here’s a close up look at the card.
I have coloured my hippo with a combination of Basic Gray, Basic Black, White and Coastal Cabana/Bermuda Bay Watercolour Pencils. I am still getting used to using them but they are so much fun. The Stampin’ Up! watercolour pencils blend so well. I think I need a day/night sitting in front of the TV just colouring images and practicing my colouring with these!
I have die cut lots of images using the beautiful hippo dies in a variety of colours. The little grass and flower pieces of gorgeous and allowed me to add pops of colours.
I have added some Glossy Dots to the centres of my flowers.

Here’s a look at the centre of my card where I have replicated the hippo and once again coloured in with an additional sentiment.
This card was so much fun to make.
