Hi crafty friends, Sara Zoppi here! Today I am happy to be here, guesting again for Sunny Studio Stamps! Today, I have two hoppy inspirations to show you, featuring some of the recently released products and some of the previously released ones. So, let's dive into the first card!
Bunnies are always so fun, and they're the typical critters for spring as we approach Easter. Anyway, I tried to use them differently, because they're perfect with flowers too!
For my first card, I decided to pair the two bunnies included in the Balloon Number Stamps, but, instead of hanging some balloon stripes, I hand-drew some flowers in their hand. I also added two of the bunnies included in the previous released Bunnyville Stamps (which perfectly match dimensions and design) to create a garden scene: one is hanging out of a watering can, surrounded by colored flowers which I totally hand drew.
I kept the scene simple, and here are the Copic colors I used:
- Grey bunnies: W4 – W3 – E41 – E40 – E11 | RV34 – R20
- Brown bunnies: E23 – E55 – E42 – E30 – E50 – E11 | RV34 – R20
- Watering can: BG18 – BG57 – BG53
- Flowers: R14 – YR68 – R22 – R21 – Y38
- Greenery: G43 – G94 – G20
As you might see, there are also small details in black. I used a fine black liner pen to add them, and I thought they worked well with the simple design. I then moved to the sentiment, from the Big Bunny Stamps, which I white heat-embossed on black cardstock. I also die-cut it using coordinating dies (I cut it twice to get some depth) and glued it down in the top right corner. I directly stamped the word spring which comes from the same "Big Bunny" stamp. To complete the card, I trimmed the scene to 5" x 3.75", added a slightly larger green sparkly cardstock, and then a 5.75"x 4.5" grey patterned paper. And here's the finished look!
For my second inspiration, I went for a shaker card. When I saw all the small bunnies included in the new release from the Tulip Path Background Stamps, I thought it would have been perfect to match them with the Big Bunny Stamps (which I love, as well as the Big Panda and the giant bear from Holiday Hugs). I created a mum card.
I first stamped the bunnies in light brown and colored them all using Copics (E23 – E43 – E42 – E41 – E40 – RV34 – R20). I also stamped the bouquet of tulips with a darker copic friendly brown ink and I colored it too (R46 – R14; RV09 – RV55; YR68 – YR65; Y38 – Y35 – Y32; G43).
I die-cut everything with coordinating dies and the big bunny arms to hang the bouquet. I defined all the eyes with a black fineliner: I think this gives a great touch when stamping with different colors, especially light colors.
I then moved to the rest of the card: I used the recently released Balloon Alphabet Stamps to stamp the MUM letters with coordinating inks. I tried to avoid inking the balloon curling ribbon and I used coordinating pencils to give some depth. I white heat embossed the first part of the sentiment, which comes from Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps, on some brown cardstock, and then I moved into the background.
I used the new Majestic Meadow Stamps to stamp my background, but I preferred to keep it simple and stamp it only with light brown. I trimmed a white frame from cardstock sized to 4" x 5.25" and I used foam tape and clear acetate to attach the three bunnies and the sentiment. I added some Iridescent Pastel Confetti and attached everything to my stamped background. And here's the finished result!
Thanks for stopping by! I really hope you like my projects and you will be inspired to create something!
