For the background of this thank you card, I die-cut a piece of cardstock with the Dots & Spots Die and used it as a stencil!  I laid the stencil over the front of a Basic White Note Card and used a Blending Brush to apply Tahitian Tide ink, which created a fun spotted backdrop to the cute hippo.

I decided to recreate this card, but simpler - just the Hippest Hippos stamp set and ink on a Basic White Note Card...

Stamps: SAB Hippest Hippos (cling: 159921).  Ink: Tahitian Tide (159210), Tuxedo Black Memento (132708).  Stampin' Blends: Tahitian Tide (159221), Parakeet Party (159220).  Accessories: Basic White Note Cards & Envelopes (159232).  Tools: Blending Brushes (153611).

I gave the Basic White Note Card a blue blush with the Blending Brush and Tahitian Tide ink and then stamped the sweet hippo and the words in Tuxedo Black ink.  To finish, I quickly coloured just the flower and leaf with Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party Stampin' Blends.

So cute and fun!  Sale-A-Bration finishes on 31 August so be sure to get your Hippest Hippos stamp set and coordinating Hippo Dies from Sale-A-Bration before they are gone.
