I've been in a major funk the past few days - and haven't felt much like stamping. However this afternoon as Josie was napping I HAD to sit down and try to stamp *something* - and I was quite pleased w/ how this turned out!!
I used the new "Bunny Friends" stamp by GinaK (isn't it the cutest?? I love it!!!) and colored it in w/ Prismacolors and Gamsol. I also added some Liquid Applique to their tails and puffed it up to make them "fuzzy" *wink*
I punched that out using my Marvy Giga Scalloped Oval Punch (look for these coming back in stock at most retailers sometime later in March), and edged that w/ a ColorBox Cat's Eye Fluid Chalk inkpad in Chestnut Roan (I just got the rest of the colors from AllThatScraps - I really like these little ink pads - the chalk ink dries really fast and gives a nice, solid, soft coverage - you can see the colors here).
I used just the first part of the "Hoppy Easter" sentiment and stamped it over and over on the Pixie Pink CS. I added a slit and a button for added embellishment - the card itself opens there:
I used my CuttleBug Bloom Dots embossing folder on the Celery CS, and then rubbed my Cat's Eye Lime Peel inkpad over the embossed parts - the ink color matched the green I used for the "grass" better so that's why I used it.
I then made a slider using the CuttleBug Tiny Tags Die and stamped the sentiment twice (one word at a time) onto the slider. I then attached it to the card using this fun ribbon I got (on sale *grin*) at Michaels and that was it!
