Easter Bunny Card II (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this CAS (clean and simple), Easter Bunny Card II.

For my card I used an ADORABLE 'Easter Egg Bunny' digital stamp. This is the 3rd card I made using this bunny. Find previous two here and here. :o)

I printed bunch of bunnies on a thin white watercolored paper last month to have them by hand, because I knew I want to make bunch of cards using this cutie. :o)

I colored the bunny in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I added some extra shades with colored pencils, fussy cut the bunny and traced edges with black marker.

Here is a photo where you can see the difference between colored edges on the image (on the right) and uncolored edges (on the left). Huge, right!?! :o)

I glued the bunny on a 2 mm thick foam sheet and fussy cut it again.

Then I stamped a sentiment from Jane's Doodles 'Funny Bunny' stamp set on a white top folded card base.

Using MS scalloped paper puncher, I punched two white cardstock paper stripes, glued 1 mm thick foam tape on both and glued them on top and bottom of the card.

Lastly, I glued the bunny on the card, traced the sentiment and coated the egg and some parts of the bunny with Clear Wink of Stella, and my card was finished. :o)

Dimensions: 127 mm x 89 mm (5" x 3.5")

Aries Card (Fairy Tale Challenge #165)

Hi everyone! :o)

It's time for a new challenge at Fairy Tale Challenge Blog. 

Our theme for this fortnight is #165, Karten mit Tieren / Cards with Animals.

This time our lucky winner will win this adorable clear stamp.

Here is my take on the challenge:  one layer, watercolor, Aries Card.

My card is a 2nd CASE of my Aquarius Card. You can find 1st CASE here. :o) I went with same design, layout, background color... Only differences are images and colors I used to color them. :o)

I love this design, so there will be more of CASEs of it... until I complete whole Zodiac circle. :o)

I used an adorable Aries stamp from Mama Elephant 'Cosmic Stars' stamp set. Love this set so much!! All those tiny Zodiac signs... SUPER CUTENESS OVERLOAD!! :o)

For a card base I used Canson XL Mixed Media Paper.

I stamped the image directly on the card base and colored it with Distress Ink Hickory Smoke in watercolor technique. I also watercolored a background with Distress Ink Blueprint Sketch, my favorite Distress Ink color. :o)

Then I stamped one more image on a post-it paper and fussy cut it out. I made a mask to cover and protect the image, as my next step was splattering the background. I splattered it with water, Distress Ink Blueprint Sketch and white acrylic paint.

After drying, I highlighted some white acrylic splatters with white gel pen and drew more white dots. As a finishing touch I coated Aries's horns and hoofs with Clear Wink of Stella. Shimmery!!! :o)

Dimensions of card: 127 mm x 95 mm (5" x 3 3/4")

List of supplies:
