Cute Little Bunny
I made this card for the inspiration challenge last week. I picked this pillow to get my inspiration from.
The bunny reminded me of the bunny from Forest Friends. I was itching to try out that set. So I picked the colors (Kiwi, Chocolate, Apricot) as well as the shape and the bunny from the inspiration piece and went to work.
I started by inking the tree from Forest Friends in Kiwi Kiss. I went over the trunk and branches with my Chocolate Chip marker and stamped it on the lower right of 3″ Whisper White cardstock square.
I added a 1/8″ scored border all around the white and then a diagonal grid with my Scor-Pal. I did not add grid lines over my stamped image.
Then I went over the diagonal lines with the new Scor-Bug (available beginning of April, I was lucky enough to get one to review for SCS).
Because of the scored lines, I used dimensionals to adhere this layer to a 1/4″ bigger Kiwi Kiss layer that was taped down to a 3 1/2″ square of Chocolate Chip.
Chocolate Taffeta ribbon had been tied around the Chocolate/Kiwi layers before adding the scored layer. The card base is a 4″ x 8″ piece of Apricot Appeal cardstock folded in half. A white gel pen dotted border was added to the edge of the card front.
The bunny from Forest Friends was stamped in Chocolate Chip on Whisper White cardstock. It was colored with Apricot Appeal Classic ink and Aqua Painter, cut out and adhered under the tree with dimensionals.
The sentiment is from Really Retro. It was stamped in Chocolate on Whisper White cardstock, punched out with the small oval punch and layered on a 1″ Kiwi Kiss circle. A paper pierced row was added under the sentiment before it was taped to the top left of the image layer. A Flower brad with a small Apricot cardstock gel pen dotted circle (punched out with the Crop-a-dile) finished off that brad.
My inside is again very simple.
I added a 3 3/4″ square of Chocolate Chip topped with a 3 1/2″ square of Kiwi Kiss cardstock.
Two Scor-Bug lines were added to the bottom of the 3 1/4″ piece of Whisper White on the bottom. The other three edges received a score line.
The tree was inked the same way as for the front, stamped off once and then stamped in the bottom right corner.
Have a wonderful Sunday! Hugs and smiles

This is so adorable! Love how you made the bunny rosey-cheeked! I got this new mini set myself, I thought it was just too adorable (and affordable) to pass up on!
TFS! And wishing you a very successful stamp camp!

Oh gosh, I love the quilted effect from the scored and then - whatever you call it, scor-bugged? lines. Looks better than my tracing wheel, for sure. So sweet.
