Happy Easter – Sweet Bunny

Easter is quickly approaching and so many challenges have selected this occasion for their current theme.  So, let’s play!  Starting with The Card Concept (#172) Easter Blessings with selected Colors.

• Double Trouble (#107) Create a scene, add a bunny and partner with
• Cupcake Inspiration (#541) Bunnies.
• Inspiration Station (#27) with a smorgasbord of tasty ideas.  In this case, the Rabbit and the orange, green and white colors in the Veggie Tray and the blue napkin.
• Bringing it all together with the current sketch from TGIF (#363).

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
• Background Panel: (5⅜” x 4⅛”) Basic White cardstock dry-embossed with the retired Dotted pattern Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folder.
• Accent Mat: (2⅞” x 2⅞”) Basic Gray cardstock. 
• Focal Panel: (2¾” x 2¾”) Basic White cardstock.
  • The Rabbit and Bicycle Image from the retired Summer Afternoon stamp set was stamped with Stazon Black ink.
  • With the Fine-Tipped Water Painter Brush, the Grass, the Flowers, the Bunny and the Basket were water-colored using Certain Celery, Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue inks direct from Ink Pad lid.
  • The Bicycle was colored with both the Light and Dark Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends.
  • The Bunny was stamped on to a piece of repositionable tape, fussy cut with Paper Snips and used as a Mask.
  • With a Blending Brush, Certain Celery ink was brushed across the bottom for a more complete Grassy Patch and Balmy Blue ink was brushed across the top for the Sky.
• Sentiment Circle: (approximately 1”) Basic Gray cardstock from center of the Accent Panel.
  • The sentiment, happy easter, from the retired Eight Great Greetings stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.  I chose this greeting for its smaller font size.
  • The sentiment was die-cut with the smallest circle die from the Beautiful Shapes Dies set.  I often like to use the center of an accent panel, when possible, for additional die-cuts because the “holes” will not show when the focal panel is adhered to the accent panel.
• Cross Strips – Ribbon: Two pieces of retired (⅛”) Grapefruit Grove Grosgrain Ribbon.

All of the elements were adhered together to resemble the sketch. The sentiment circle was popped up with Dimensionals.

A pretty little scene.  Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!
