Hip...hip....hippo!

Kaz did a fabulous job on the hippo back HERE on this post and Caroline has just another fantastic card using this little fella.

Caroline painted the hippo in metallic silver acrylic paint and stamped a swirl onto the body, using a grey pigment ink and then dusted pearl pigment powder onto the swirls.  This is the same for the swirl in the corner.

His head has been mounted on a spring so it wobbles.

Hippo

Hi, it's Kaz again and I've been playing with this cute hippo. He has engraved eyes, nose and mouth so you can give him a good bit of detail.





He was so much fun to do. I've used acrylic paint on him and used a stipple brush for the second coat to give him some texture. I've then just inked the edges and painted the eyes and nostrils. The eyes have been glossy accented to make them shine. He has been in the mud again, just look at his grubby feet!!!
