Happy Bunny

Today's card was inspired by the sketch @ the Paper Craft Crew blog and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: For a Special Lady/Girl.

The "Happiness" sentiment came from a retired TAC cling mounted stamp set and the bunny is from the "Little Bunny for You" kit from  Unity Stamp Company.

I started with a top folding 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white card base, and several paper scraps...including a purple floral glittered paper, pink and lilac cardstocks. A banner was cut from the gold washi tape and the pink cardstock. A flower was punched from the lilac cardstock.

The bunny was stamped in FSJ Black Licorice ink and colored using the Dove Blender with Prismacolor pencils. Once it was dry, I layered clear Wink of Stella over the bunny and Crystal Lacquer over the flower and the "Happiness" sentiment that I stamped in black and fussy cut out.

Then it was time to begin assembling the card front...first step was to adhere the floral cardstock to the top of the card. Second was to double wrap and tie white Scrapper's Floss into a bow on the right side of the floral panel. Third, I ran the card front thru my die cutting machine with the "xxx-stitch" die from Lawn Fawn tucked right up under the purple floral panel. Fourth, I hand trimmed the gold and pink banners and layered them on the top left of the card front with foam pop dots. I traced the punched lilac flower with a Stardust Gelly Roll pen, layered it on top of the banners and then layered the "Happiness label" on top of it.

The very last step was running the clear Stardust Gellyroll pen along the bottom edge of the Purple Floral panel...which you can catch a tiny glimpse of in the photos above and below.
