Blueprint Bunny Card

Hi friends!  It's a very windy, chilly day here.  Once again, we are experiencing sew-saw temperatures--chilly one day, warm the next.

Today, my card features a Tim Holtz bunny blueprint stamp.  Even though it may be used primarily for Easter, I think it is adaptable to any occasion.

Let me be the first to admit that my coloring skills on this image are not very good.  I used a combination of watercolor pencils and Copic markers.  The background was too dark, so I tried to lighten it with some modeling paste clouds.  Not really happy with it but didn't have time to make another one.  To enhance the image, I used an old, I believe, Tattered Angels chipboard frame which was given a coat of glitter and distress ink to the edges.  For the card base, I layered a piece of Tim Holtz Wallflower paper onto blue Distress Cardstock.  Across the bottom of the card, I used my new TH lace edge border die.  I then wrapped pink TH string around the card and accented it with flowers from Spare Parts and a hemp bow.  Next, the frame was placed on the card with some cheesecloth underneath.  A butterfly was fussy cut from the paper and highlighted with Stickles.  A kraft Chitchat sticker was placed at the top and a few more flowers were added to the bottom.  I love how the lace edge diecut almost looks like a fence here.

I did use this as an Easter card but I think it would work just as well for a Springtime card.  Next time, I'll need to choose my marker colors more carefully!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by.  I appreciate each and every comment.  I love to visit your blogs as well--there is so much inspiration for me out there.  Have a wonderful week ahead.
