Aren't these bunnies just the absolute cutest thing? I thought they were the perfect size for these little notecards. I made a set of six , thinking I may give them as a little gift, or maybe I'll just keep them for myself and have on hand for baby gifts.
Today, I'm going to be using products from the Maker Forte Spring has Sprung Release
To make these, I started by using the new Simply Saying Die to cut out the black and white sentiments sheets from the Simple Sayings - Spring Celebration. This die makes it so much easier. No measuring required.
For these cards, I decided to use the Welcome Baby, It's Finally Spring, and Welcome Little One. But I could have easily made these Easter or Mother's Day.
Using my Misti, I stamped two of bunnies from the Hip Hop Bunnies stamp set using Eclipse Black. I then turned the paper and stamped them again. I did this twice, but only ended up using 6 of the images
Now it was time to color these cuties. I really wanted each of them to be slightly different. The Copic marker colors that I used for the bunnies was T1, T3, T5, E41, E42, E43, C1, C3, C5, W1, W3, and W5. For the ears, I used R00 and R20. The flowers were colored using RV10, RV13, and RV14. Y15, Y17, and Y38. Y13, RV10, RV13 and Y15. All the leaves were colored with YG03, YG17, and YG67. The bandanas used many of the same colors Y13, Y15, and Y17. B00, B02, and B04. RV10, RV21, and RV13.
The dots on the bandana and the longer leaves stamped in solid black. I thought it would be fun to add a little more color, so I used a very small paint brush and Iuile color shift watercolor paint.
I used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut all these bunnies. So much fast that trying to fussy cut. To make the notecards I used The Greetery Crimped Notecard die in Welsh Dragon, Bubble Gum, and Yellowstone solid core cardstock and Neenah white cardstock
Now I am ready to assemble. I added dimension foam tape to the back of all the bunnies and to the sentiments as well. I placed the cut out bunnies just where their ears went over the top of the card and centered the sentiments below that.
This first card, I inked up the stamp with 2 colors of Altenew ink, Autumn Blaze and Sunkissed. I spritzed it with a tiny bit of water and stamped it onto watercolor paper. After it was dry, I stamped the outline in Versafine black ink.
I love this sentiment from The Greetery I used the same Altenew ink colors for the Hello. To give it more dimension, I used to coordination die cut, and cut 3 additonal sentiments from black cardstock.
By now you know I love using my Copic Markers. I actually prefer to use them over anyother medium. I just used the outline stamp of the Leaf Canopy set. I stamped the smaller stem in Memento tuxedo black ink. Then I masked it off and stameped the larger stem over top.
The die cut ribbon around the stems pulls it all together and gives it a finished look. The Hello sentiment is from the same stamp set.
Thank you again for stopping by. Wishing you all a happy, healthy week.
Hope you all had a great weekend. Thankfully, I was able to spend almost the entire weekend in my craft room.
I've been cleaning and organizing. What a difference it makes! I feel like I have room to breathe.
Now for some of the cards I worked on last week.
This first card I made to enter into the Simon Says Stamp Flickr group.
It's pretty simple. I just made the background using alcohol pearl ink on Yupo paper .
I cut the Mod Leaf Oval twice from 80# card stock and glued them together to add a little dimension. I then carefully heat embossed the sentiment using white Brutus Monroe embossing powder.
During my cleaning, I re-discovered a lot of 6x6 paper packs that I have squirreled away. I was bound and determined use it on at least one card.
I stamped and slightly modified the boot from Honey Bee Stamps Oh my Wiskers. I colored it with Copic markers and cut it out using my Brother Scan n Cut. I added foam tape to the colored images to add some dimension.
This last card was actually quick to put together. I love these multi stamping sets from The Greetery. They require no coloring, just a couple different ink colors. The sentiment set Written in Ribbon, is the same concept. I stamped it once using It's a Girl light pink ink, then again with the second stamp in a darker ink.
If you have any questions, be sure to leave me a comment otherwise have a great week!
Last week I received my first The Greetery order. If you haven't ordered from them before, just look at how nice the order is packaged. I hated to tear the pretty pink paper.
