Sandi MacIver – Stampin With Sandi –

What do you do when you don’t get an Easter card finished on time?  You turn it into a Birthday Card of course  –  and that’s exactly what happened with today’s project We Must Celebrate Bunny Card.

I had all these little bunnies painted, cut out and ready to go but then the weekend hit, and Ian came home to visit.  Lots of eating and socializing, not much card making happened, haha. So here we are, back to normal days and I’m scrambling to use up these little bunnies…..

A great place to start is with a sketch so I grabbed this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

Sandi’s Tips and Tricks for the We Must Celebrate Bunny card:

  • The bunnies are stamped in Archival Basic Black onto watercolour paper and then coloured with an Aqua Painter in Soft Suede and Smokey Slate.
  • To create the card front, I attached a 2″ wide strip of Picture Perfect Party Designer paper and two 1/4″ strips of Lemon Lime Twist to the 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 Whisper White card base.

  • I trimmed the ends and then used one of the Sweet & Sassy Heart Shaped Framelits to cut out my peek-a-boo window.

  • By matting this in 4 x 5-1/4 Lemon Lime Twist, it also becomes the background colour behind my partying bunnies.
  • I white heat embossed the Happy Birthday on a scrap of Basic Black and attached it with Dimensionals.
  • I used Multipurpose Glue on the bottom of the bunnies and tucked their little behinds in behind the heart cut out.  They have mini Dimensionals behind their heads to that they pop up a bit too.
  • The final embellishments, a selection of Brights Enamel Shapes sprinkled around.
