French Bunny Thank You Card

Hello, happy Tuesday!  Just stopping in with a little card for the Technique Junkies WWDB What We Do Best Challenge.  This is day five of the challenge.  See Pat's post HERE for full details of the challenge.

TJ Stamps:
Little Bunny
Paris Postmarks
French Sentiments

Don't you just love, love, love this sweet little bunny?!  I do!  He's just so adorable.

For my card, I inked Little Bunny with distress ink in my Misti.  I used a finger dauber to add different distress ink colors to him, and restamped often to bring back the detail.  

When I was finished, I took the panel from the Misti, and added details with colored pencils.  I created a mask for the bunny, and stamped the Paris Postmarks background stamp, using bundled sage distress ink. 
I attached the panel to a green panel, then to a cream A2 card front.

I stamped the Merci from the French Sentiments set twice.  Once with brown, then shifted it ever so slightly and then stamped it again with the green.  Then I layered, and added it to the card front.  I used a craft knife to cut the ear a bit, and tucked the verse underneath.

Inside:
The inside verse is also from the French Sentiments set.

And that's it for today's inspiration.  I hope you have had chance to come over and enter your card.  If not, be sure to join us.  You just might win one of four $50 gift certificates to the Technique Junkies store!  Details and rules can be found HERE.

Easter Blessings

Hello, and welcome.  My card today is all about textured cardstock.  I used Bazzil cardstock for the card base, and Bienfang Paper Canvas Canvasette for my image.  

I love stamping and coloring on canvas types of backgrounds.  The texture can be challenging, but I love the way the texture makes the art look.  

I stamped the bunny (Art Impressions Easter Blessings 4886K set) onto the canvas paper and colored him with Tombow markers, using my paintbrush and some water.  I used the Spellbinders egg die, and mounted it onto the card.  The embellishment die is also from Spellbinders.

Some gems finish off this simple card.

I am adding my card to:

Art Impressions - Perfect pastimes (napping!)

Addicted To Stamps - Holiday

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Easter inspired

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I appreciate your comments and encouragement.

You Are Special

We are having some snow and blowing, just on the tail of the Noreastern going up the coast.  Nothing compared to what the more eastern states and even a little further east in New York are getting, I'm sure.  

My card today makes me think about the bunny who lives in our garden.  He greets us when we sit on the deck, while he nibbles grass and other goodies he finds there.  Thankfully, he hasn't eaten any of our plants.  Hopefully this spring will be the same.

Isn't he sweet?  The stamps are from the Technique Junkies March release. 

They are: 

Little Bunny 

Growing Wild

You Are Special 

Just click on the name of the stamp above, and it will take you to the Technique Junkies store, and directly to that stamp, if you want to do some shopping.  If you do, be sure to use my code TJ10Lynda for 10% off your stamps.  

To make this card, I started with a watercolor panel.  I stamped the bunny (using Tombow markers) and watercolored him, then masked him and stamped the Growing Wild flowers (again, Tombows), then added watercolor to give them a painterly look.   I die cut the panel using DieNamics Blueprints 2, and added it to an A2 card.

I stamped the You Are Special with Ranger Archival ink in Watering Can color.  I fussy-cut the words and added them with foam tape.  

A little brush of color from distress inks finish off the card.

I am adding my card to these challenges:

Sending Love Bunny

Today was a whirlwind of card-making.  I finished my cards for some challenges, and finished my Design Team cards for Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen and the Technique Junkies February blog hop/new stamp release coming up on February 1st.  

I made this card for the Impression-Obsession Challenge,'I Adore You.' 

 I used Impression-Obsession stamps Bailey Bunbun F19057 and Sending Love from the clear set Grunge Map CL671.

I started with a kraft card, and added a strip of black and white PP along the left edge (I distressed it with antique linen distress ink so it wasn't so white).  I used an old die from my stash (unknown) to cut hearts and added them to the card.  

I colored the bunny with Polychromos colored pencils, and added her with foam tape for dimension.  I added the verse, which I cut from a heart for her to told on to.

Some white dots and a little distressing with seedless preserves ink along the card edges finish this off.

In addition to the Impression-Obsession  challenge, I am adding my card to:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge  - Layer it up

Allsorts Saturday Challenge  - Old favorites (bunny stamp and heart dies)

The Daily Marker 30 day color challenge 

Thanks for stopping in today.  Hope you are having a fabulous weekend so far!

Bunny Saying Hi Card

Just a quick post to get my card into the Mojo Monday sketch challenge for this week....

I used Verve stamps (Hip Hop Bunnies vs-0239).  I stamped lightly with distress inks, and used the no line coloring technique, using distress inks to paint the bunny and carrots.  I masked the bunny, and stamped some carrots to appear as though he is holding them behind his back.  The two on the left I stamped and fussy cut.  The panel is layered on with foam tape, and the rest of the layering is to meet the requirements of the challenge.


For the background, I smooshed some ink onto watercolor paper.  
This was a fun card to make.  I do love sketches, as the work of deciding on a layout is done for me.  

I can't wait to make more cards with this adorable set!

Thank you for stopping by.

Blessings,
