Snuggle Bunnies
I can hear the sighing just looking at these Smooching Bunnies from KTDesigns. (I previously posted that I purchased this stamp from an Art Impressions Booth, but I was incorrect. KTDesigns is also known as Artful Stamper and I confused the two companies. My apologies.) How I made this card: This image -- which is two bunnies together on one stamp -- just cries out to be watercolored. However, vast amounts of white space are almost always a disaster for me -- until I take that watercolor class that is in my future. I decided to use patterned paper as a way to fill in the space inside these bunnies. I stamped them twice in Palette Noir ink onto 2 different pieces of Stampin Up's Sarah paper and cut out each bunny. (Then I did it again because the ink smudged when I was cutting out the bunnies. Patience.) I mounted the bunnies with Stampin Up's dimensionals onto a bunny I had already stamped onto Bashful Blue cardstock, added some cotton ball tails (adhered with Ranger's Glossy Accents), and placed a tiny blue A Muse Arts mini twinkle dot between the bunnies' noses just for fun. Other supplies: All Stampin Up: Certainly Celery and So Saffron cardstock; striped paper from the Sarah set of decorator papers; Celery ribbon and So Saffron brads. Everything mounted on a non SU white cardstock. Happy Easter and to those who celebrate Passover, I hope your Passover has been a good one.
love the bunnies...so cute! D

So cute...we read "Guess How Much I Love You" and these bunnies are too cute...love them with the DP!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute! I LOVE them filled in w/ patterned paper. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteVery cute card, love that stamp!
ReplyDeleteJoan, very cute and great inspiration. I've been reading the tutorials of using patterned paper with stamps (such as dressing the bellas), but your bunnies gave me the idea to go see what my teddy bear stamp would look like with patterned paper. I, too, need more watercoloring classes to make him look right!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love this card. Also thanks fot Kathy W. for suggesting teddy bear stamps. I just got one and I don't like watercoloring that much. So much good "stuff" here.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the typo. That should read thanks to Kathy W... Haven't had any coffee for about a week and maybe it shows:)
ReplyDeleteoh joan, how adorable! i think they're much more interesting than if they were watercolored! btw, you're not the only 'vast whitespace' challenged ;)
