Happy Easter Bunny

This week I was able to make a card for one of the StampTV challenges.  This one was a sketch challenge, which was great timing because I really needed some inspiration.  This sketch was a great one.

Here’s the card I created just in time for Easter.

I love this adorable little bunny.  It’s challenging creating a focal when you have a small stamp, but if you add the sentiment with the image and have the image matted on some layers, you can make the focal appear a lot larger.  I colored her in with some copics.

I also love the technique of matting a beautiful piece of patterned paper with either white, black, or brown cardstock with a thin edge around the piece.  It really makes the patterned paper pop.  I added the teal ribbon which has a little bit of ruffles on it.  So fun!

On another note,  I’ve discovered that you can find papercrafting supplies on Amazon!  And even better, I happen to have an Amazon rewards credit card, so I earn points when I use my credit card which I can then redeem on Amazon.  Sweet!  This way I can “buy” things without breaking my goal of not spending money on new stash.  Is that cheating?  What do you think?

Total Purchasing Tally this week: $0, but I ordered five new stamp sets with my Amazon points!
