Just a Bunny's Hop

Hello, Tallie here.

Easter is just a bunny's hop away (hehe) so my card today is full of bunnies! These Mama Elephant sets feature quite a bit in my card designs as they are perfect for practicing your colouring, and this Bunny's Hop set is perfect for this time of year.

I started out by stamping this mischievous bunch of bunnies in some MFT Extreme Black Ink onto some blending card stock. I chose some bright, springtime coloured markers to go with the cool greys, and coloured the scene in with my alcohol markers. I cut this out with the coordinating dies.

I adhered this to a background panel that I blended some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink in a gradient.

I don't really send Easter cards so I chose a more generic sentiment from the Avery Elle Peek-a-Boo Pals stamp set and added an ellipsis to continue the sentiment inside.

A few clear sequins in the sky brightens up the card!

Thanks for reading and I hope everyone who celebrates Easter has a fantastic one!

One Layer Bunny Card

Hey stampers, Anni here!

One Layer cards are very rare on my craft desk. I often struggle to make them. But these sets by Mama Elephant with crowds of animals (there is one set with dogs, one with cats, one with snowmen and this one with bunnies) make it easy because they fill up a lot of space of the card.

I started by stamping the bunnies from Mama Elephant's The Bunny's Hop on alcohol marker friendly card stock - directly on the cardbase. The stamp is wide enough to fit on a landscape card but I went with a portrait cardbecause of less colouring. I masked of a stripe on the bottom of the card for the sentiment.

Then I coloured the bunnies with alcohol markers. Because I did know I wanted to make an one layer card I tried to emphasize the shadows to achieve a higher contrast. I also coloured the background or the sky. Whenever I colour a bigger area and it doesn't get as even as I like to, I add dots with a colourless blender. It is a nice effect, I think.

To finish up my card I chose a sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Simlpy Sentiments and stamped it in black on the bottom of my card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.
