I made this card for my niece, who is starting her first real job this week. I LOVE this adorable Honey Bee Stamps “Blah Bunny”, and I thought it would be perfect for her to go along with a little care package that I plan to send her after her first week.
It’s a single layer CAS scene card that I stamped and masked in layers. I first stamped the bunny. Then I masked it to stamp the rug. I positioned the cup so it would look like it had just slipped from the bunny’s hand and doodled in some spilled coffee with a 0.1 pt Copic Multi-liner Pen. Then I partially masked off just below the bunny’s arm and stamped in the flag so it would look like it was tucked in the crook of her arm.
I used the following Copic colors for the scene:
Bunny: W0, W1, W3, W5 with R30, R20 and YR15 for the ears, nose and paw pads
Cup: Y00, Y13, YR15
Blue of rug: B000, B00, B01
Red of rug: R24, R27 and R29
White flag: C0, C1
Spilled coffee: E57 and E59
Wood grain floor: C1, C3, E53
I added white Uniball Signo Gel Pen dots in her eyes and a tiny highlight on her nose. And to add a bit of glimmer shimmer, I coated the cup with a Clear Wink of Stella.
For the sentiment, I printed from my computer the sentiment, “Adulting is Hard” using a free font called Magnolia Sky in 20 pt font. I really like the scripty look of this font and I thought the whimsical hand written look went well with this cute, exhausted bunny. LOL

Awww thanks so much Carol! It was fun to create this little silly scene. 🙂
LOL! This is so true! I love how you can make a special event out of even work.
Thank you so much! Hehehe. I think it’s particularly nice to send a card when there is no “special” event. 🙂
I LOVE this card. I find so many new stamps or dig’s to get each challenge that my wallet may go broke. My daughters favorite saying is “I don’t like adulting”. This would be perfect for her. Thank you so much for joining us over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge. Best of luck and hope to see you again soon! DT~Jana Forrest

We would like to invite you to link with us again in our current Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving some inspiration from the Word of God in John 4:14 n which Jesus said, “But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life.” Have a wonderful and blessed week.
