CARD DETAILS
First, I stamped the images in alcohol-marker-friendly ink onto Simon’s 130lb cardstock. I love this paper for anything that has to do with stamping, alcohol marker coloring and die cutting. The Hippity Hoppity stamp set is perfect for building your own Easter bunny.
Next, I used coordinating dies and luckily there are dies for every image in this set, making it very easy to cut everything out. By the way, you can stamp the bunny face directly onto the egg shape, you don’t have to stamp it separately and cut it out, you can stamp it directly. I wanted to cut all of the images out to be able to play and test all of the various face combinations and try different shapes of eyes with different styles of noses and whiskers.
Next, I added some basic coloring and sharing, I used OLO markers and just added a bit of pink inside the ears using the R0.1 color and also the same color onto the nose as well as the R0.2 to create a slight color variation. Next, I used a warm gray marker to add barely visible shading to the feet and the base of the ears.
I used a combination of thin foam adhesive squares, regular thickness foam adhesive squares, and glue to assemble bunny faces.
With the bunnies done, I moved on to creating a background for my cards. I knew I wanted to use colored cardstock, but I wanted to add some subtle pattern to the background, so I stamped it using one of the stamps from the new Leaf Edges Cling stamp set. I love this set, it is brilliant, because you have 2 different leaf edge designs in one set. And if you want to stamp a full background, you just stamp one design twice and it looks fantastic! I used the watermark embossing ink from Spellbinders and stamped this design on Simon’s Sea Glass cardstock using my MISTI stamping tool.
I love to add interactivity to my cards, and my favorite way to do that is by using an action wobbler. I adore wobblers and I love cards with a wobbler on them. I thought it would be super fun to put these egg bunnies on a wobbler and let them wobble. Wobblers are super easy to use, they have adhesive on both sides, so you stick one side of the back of the element you want to move and stick the other side to the background.
Lastly, I knew I wanted to add some small flowers to my bunnies, I wanted to decorate them a bit, so I used the Spellbinders Mini Blooms & Sprigs die set and I die cut a bunch of flowers in different colors, Spring colors. Have fun stamping!
