The animals in the Hippo Happiness Bundle are just so cute. I love that you can stamp with the same color to get the different shades for each animal. Just stamp direct for one layer and stamp off to get the lighter background layer.
The Sketch is from the CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge from Splitcoaststampers.
I used the Playing With Patterns Designer Series Paper which has some really fun patterns for backgrounds.
