SSINKIC43: Bunny Wreath

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the photo below as inspiration.

 

I took my cues from the wreath encircling a bunny, but how to recreate it? Foxy Friends to the rescue. Obviously the Foxy Friends stamp set is made to create foxes, but you can make so many other animals with it. With a bit of modification, I made this cute little bunny. From there I started stamping and punching flowers to create a wreath. The circle itself left too much white space around the bunny, so I went back in to stamp some flowers on the piece of white. Much better. I finished off the card by adding a piece of DSP to give just a bit more visual interest. And voila! My cute little bunny wreath.

Time at the Seaside

Today’s card is celebrates the great By the Shore DSP pack. I love the fun sea motifs included in this pack. I paired the  paper with the coordinating stamp set Seaside Shore. Construction wise, this is a simple card. I cut strips of DSP to create the background and then layered them on top of a piece of Soft Sky. The images were stamped and cut out.

Botanical Garden

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Saint Patrick's Day card or a green card. I opted for a green card. This was such a fun card to create! And it's a very versatile card. Change the colors, the DSP, and/or the sentiment to create a very different looking card. For this one, I heat embossed my sentiment before creating a watercolor wash. I stamped on a bit of background pattern using tone-on-tone stamping. I layered small piece of DSP to give a bit of visual interest. And finally I die cut and layered some flowers. Seriously, I am in love with card!

The inside features a simple Easter message. A fun shaped card for today!

Best Paisleys

Today’s card is a simple one layer stamped card. I wanted to make a card with the Paisleys and Posies stamp set, but some of the examples I found on Pinterest were just too many layers or too busy for my taste. And I stumbled upon some one layer stamped cards. Perfect! I layered on some different paisley pieces in Rich Razzleberry and Delightful Dijon. A simple sentiment and I was done. Easy card for today!
