Under The Moon Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

The third project from March’s Card Making Class is this beautiful dolphin card.

It uses the Under the Moon Stamp Set for the main images. The Labeled With Love Stamp Set provides the sentiment.

My colour combination is Azure Afternoon, Night of Navy, Lemon Lolly and Smoky Slate, along with Basic White.

To begin, the moon and sea are stamped. Next, the clouds are added with a mix of first and second generation stamping to provide depth.

On a separate piece of cardstock the dolphins are stamped. These are then carefully cut out. I managed to accidentally cut off a dorsal fin on my first attempt!

A length of Basic White Baker’s Twine is coloured usinga Stampin’ Blend Marker. This is looped behind the sentiment.

Finally, both the dolphins and the sentiment are attached using Mini Dimensionals.

As I was still in holiday mode after a lovely week away in Cyprus, last week’s Card & Cuppa design reflected that!

It is a CASE of a project in the new Annual Catalogue.

This new Under The Moon Stamp Set is great as it does a lot of the hard work for you, so you can make a project really quickly. Plus there are some great images in the Annual Catalogue to use as inspiration too.

I chose to combine Azure Afternoon, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral for this design.

All of the images, apart from the boat, are inked up using Sponge Daubers. This gives a more subtle effect and allows you to create darker and lighter areas.

After inking up the sea image with a Sponge Dauber, I used my Grid Paper to ensure I stamped a straight horizon.

Next, the moon image is carefully inked up with both colours using the Sponge Daubers and lined up with the sea below.

The boat is then added to the side to finish the stamping of the scene.

Finally a few white sequins from adhesive-backed sequins trio are dotted across the sea to look like water droplets.

For my project, I decided to leave it sentiment free as I think it makes a great any occasion card. Alternatively, there is white space where a sentiment can easily be added as needed.
