Tropical Hideaway Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

I wanted to make a neutral project. So this thank you card using the Tropical Hideaway Stamp Set and sepia tones was the result.

Using Crumb Cake and Early Espresso cardstock, the image is stamped tone-on-tone in Crumb Cake.

Then, using Watercolor Pencils, the leaves are coloured using the Early Espresso and White Pencils, with any harsh lines softened with a Blender Pen.

A length of the coordinating Faux Suede Trim sits across the project.

Finally, a sentiment from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set is raised up on Mini Dimensionals.

I think this project would look great in other colours too.

Which colours would you use?

A Tropical Hideaway Stamp that is!

I absolutely love a large stamp that I can use to quickly create a card.

For this project, I have chosen to stamp the image and then colour parts of it using Stampin’ Blends.

My colour combination is Parakeet Party, Garden Green and Soft Sea Foam, with Basic White. Garden Green provides the ink for the stamping, with the colouring in the other greens.

By only colouring a few of the leaves, it makes them stand out. The bright Parakeet Party leaves coordinate with the cardstock layer.

A few lengths of coordinating In Color Baker’s Twine wrap around the project.

Using the Go To Greetings Stamp Set, new in the Annual Catalogue, cut out with the Beautiful Shapes Dies, the small sentiment sits on top of the Baker’s Twine using Mini Dimensionals.

As the sentiment is small, it doesn’t detract from the main image.
