Good Morning Friends,
I hope you are all well and having a great crafty week..another quick post today I'm afraid, I'm still trying to catch up with myself and my two days off are over, back to work today!
I couldn't let the week pass without contributing to Hels Sheridan's Sunday Stampers and this week the theme is something pretty. Well this past week or so, I've made quite a few 'pretty' cards for the craft fair - much as I love grunge and steampunk!
So I have decided to go for pretty 'grunge' with my card for this week and have a bunny from Tim Holz's Easter Blueprint stamp set. I have to say that the actual design is inspired by a card I have seen in (I think) a Ranger gallery, wherever I saw it, it stuck in my mind..a chocolate bunny!
I stamped him and die-cut using Spellbinders Labels 17, then I coloured the background with watered down Picked Raspberry. I wanted it to be uneven to kind of resemble candy floss? Pink and fluffy anyway!
I coloured the bunny in a mix of distress inks: Vintage Photo and Picked Raspberry and for the grass mixed Bundled Sage with Shabby Shutters. I matted and layered on a card that has been run through the Grand Calibur with one of my M-Bossabilities and coloured with Mustard Seed, then a layer of coredinations cream polka dot paper, which I sanded back.
The ribbon is a soft pink vintage satin, which I spritzed wet and dried crumpled with my heat tool. I tied this around the coredinations card and added a bow.
To finish off I added seasonal Easter words from Ideology Season stickers...well I think he passes for pretty!
Have a good day all,

Good morning Carol,
ReplyDeleteWell that bunny is very different, I really like the result you have got. Like the colours, would never have thought about spritzing satin ribbon, it looks good will give that a go.
Have a great day

Hi Carole, he is very pretty indeed! Once you said it, I could imagine candy floss in the background, it has a lovely watercolour feel to it. Loving that embossed background and the bunny's little pink cheek too. A gorgeous make. Hugs, Anne x
