Current Challenge


Hello everyone.  Von Marie here and I’m so happy to be on the blog today with my card for the current challenge Bunnies #381 and a fun New Card Sketch.

I was inspired by the colors, bunnies, and card sketch for this challenge.  

Let’s Get Started:


I inked 3 columns like the card sketch.  It actually took me 3 times because my columns were to wide for my white A2 panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I used a stencil from Simon Says Stamp called Slimline Masks.  I used some masking tape to make my column even smaller than the stencil. I used dye inks in Simon Says Stamp Pucker, Latte, and Gina K Designs Powder Blue.  I ended up cutting my column off the paper and glueing them to a new white panel.

Next, I used a 6×6 stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Bunny Hug and inked it over my columns using Gina K Designs Blue Denim ink.  I then used Gina K Designs white pigment ink for the eyes and nose of the bunny.  I stamped a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Oh Bunny Stamp Set with black ink. I used pink chalk for the cheeks and ears on my bunny although you cannot see on camera.  I wanted some gingham on my project like the inspiration photo so I grabbed a sticker angled it to my panel.  I then glued my panel to a A2 top folding card base.  I think this card ended up coming out cute.

Come play along with us!
