Hippo Treat IC1035
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: justwritedesigns

 It's my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge and we are visiting Craftsy Hacks & her Pinterest Boards. I was inspired by some of her Halloween crafts boards. In particular THIS one.

After coloring & die cutting the cute little hippo, I popped him one layer. Going thru my stash of backgrounds, I came across some wide strips of a brayered background in oranges & yellows. These aren't even full backgrounds, just strips. I put 3 together with colors not in line with each other. The twig cover was cut in black, covered w/ Versamark & heat embossed w/ black glitter powder. I did the same for the greeting die cuts & the edges of the larger arched die cut.

Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more details & pics: The Write Stuff

I love how your glittery black die cut pops from the vivid colors of the background. Such a cute little trick or treater!

That glittery black embossing adds such a striking contrast—like moonlight catching on a spooky silhouette. The layered brayered strips are brilliant, too; they feel like flickering candlelight behind the scene. And that hippo? Absolutely adorable with just the right touch of Halloween mischief. This is such a clever blend of whimsy and atmosphere.

Your strips were perfect for the background. The hippo is so cute and I love the twig cover. For sure, a cool Halloween card
