Mopsie and Mr. Rogers

I was straightening my studio, and putting away the mountains bits of paper and stamps, etc. that were on my desk - mainly so that I could see my desk!  When I picked up the packet with this adorable little bunny stamp, I decided that my reward for cleaning would be to make a card with it!  Hey, I'm easy to please!

 

I stamped the Impression-Obsession stamp, Mopsie B19929
onto a piece of white Strathmore bristol card stock, and colored her with my Polychromos colored pencils.

I masked the bunny and used TH distress inks to brush some Tumbled Glass ink onto the bottom corner and up, gradually fading it out near the top.  
I then placed a stencil, Mini Rosetta, by The Crafter's Workshop, onto the panel, and brushed more color over it to get the pattern.  

I stamped IO's verse Beginning 13759  onto the upper left using coffee Ranger archival ink.  I used my Misti so that I could stamp the image two or three times to get more intensity.

I mounted the panel onto a blue card stock panel, then onto a kraft colored A2 card, which I had stenciled with the same stencil as the blue image panel.  I mounted the panel onto the card front with craft foam for dimension.

I added a double bow which I had made from Hug Snug seam binding, and dyed by smooshing it into a puddle of Tumbled Glass distress ink and water, and dried with my heat tool before forming it into a bow.  I love the seam binding for bows.  It has a natural sheen, and the 100 yard roll lasts a long, long time.  I just have white, and dye it whatever color I need.  If you dye it, and wad it into a tight ball, then let it dry, it comes out really crumpled.  I like that for different cards.  I used it that way on a card on THIS POST a while ago.  I used the same stencil on that post also!  

That's it for this easy-peasy card today.  I love this quote by Fred Rogers.  Do you remember Mr. Rogers?  He is a wonderful person, and has a depth of wisdom.  I used to love to watch his show with my daughter.  


On my card today I used:
Mopsie B19929
Beginning 13759  (verse)
Polychromos colored pencils
Strathmore bristol card stock
Hug Snug seam binding
