Spring or Easter Bunny and Egg Card - Watercolor Pencils

Greetings. Spring brings pastel colors to mind. This is a Spring or Easter bunny and egg card. I used pastel colors, stamping, dry embossing, and watercolor pencils. Here, I outline step-by-step instructions. This bunny scene and sentiment are stamps from Unity Stamp Company, part of their Uniquely Unity line. The project is also featured on the Unity blog. The supplies are noted below.

Helpful Tips:

1.     Prepare an A2 sized card base from white cardstock, 4 1/4" x 5.5" folded horizontally.

2.     Trim a rectangle background frame panel 4” x 5 1/4” from lavender cardstock.

3.     Optional:  Dry emboss a texture onto the lavender panel using an embossing folder.

4.     Stamp the bunny scene using waterproof ink onto the smooth side of watercolor paper.

5.     Stamp the sentiment in black ink onto white cardstock then die-cut using Scallops & Banners {nesting dies}

6.     Die-cut the bunny scene using Scallops & Arches {nesting dies}

7.     Add your coloring of choice to the bunny scene.  I used watercolor pencils for watercolor.

8.     Once the color is dry, add twine and embellishment dots to the arch layer.

9.     Stamp and fussy cut a floral accent.  I stamped the flowers from Well Hello There stamps using purple ink onto pink cardstock and then fussy cut.

10. Adhere the lavender background frame panel to the horizontal card base using flat double-sided.

11. Adhere the finished bunny, sentiment and flower panels over the lavender layer, to finish.

Here is the first part of the card making process.

And, this is the prep for the last part of the process.
