Hello all my inky friends! I hope you've been doing well recently. I know I've been a bit MIA lately...I've been strolling down memory lane. I rescued a bunch of old family photos and paper memorabilia from a dumpster. Yes I've been dumpster diving - well technically Bob (youngest son) did the diving (thanks Bob!), I did the sorting - LOL!! I can't wait to share some of it with you...it brought back so many memories as well as surprises as I hadn't seen most of the photos and none of the other ephemera.
Anyway, today I took a bit of a break to make a card for a friend! She recently turned 50 and is having a celebration over on her blog - Crafty Nomad - a Bunny Hop - lol... She loves bunnies and is featurning bunny art on several of her posts. She invited everyone to help her play along by posting a bunny card of our own creation so I thought I'd join in the fun. Here is the card I made her....
To make the card I sprinkled a tiny bit of Nuance pigment powder onto my craft mat...one blue, turquoise and a lime green color. Remember, just a teeny tiny bit - a little goes a long way when using it for monoprinting. I then misted the powder with water and pounced several white card panels on the resulting colorful mix. I then let them all dry.
Next I stamped the bunnies onto one of the panels, colored with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and used an Inktense watercolor pencil to create the grass. Finally I stamped the sentiment then mounted it onto a blue card blank.
A close up of the bunnies...
I tried to give them each their own personality.
This was so much fun I may have to make another bunny card!
