Hippo Birthday Water Color Card

It's Tuesday and more challenges!  Today's card is for two challenges - CAS Colours & Sketches sketch challenge and Splitcoast Stampers color challenge.
Here is the sketch posted:
The colors this week at Splitcoast Stampers are Watermelon Wonder, Old Olive and Smokey Slate.

 I had fun water coloring the image and stenciling the background. The rectangles are popped off the card using three sheets of either Watermelon Wonder or Old Olive underneath.  Then I used foam dots to give the hippo some dimension.  Finally, I added some white gel pen to highlight the balloons and add polka dots to the present.


Stamps and Dies:  MFT Happy Hippos , Stitched Rectangles
Stencil: Stampin' Up!
