Recently I have been focusing a lot on new technology for my crafting on YouTube, Instagram and for my blog — new lighting, camera, lenses, microphone and accompanying software. Along with my Copic coloring YouTube series, that has led to a lot of techie research, practicing, editing, etcetera, and while I was feeling under the weather and it has been gray and gloomy, that’s OK. However, the weather has turned, and I am feeling better and springy! So….<\/p>\n

<\/a>I decided to just revel in stamping and coloring to\u00a0create a fun springy Easter card using the adorable Tiddly Inks stamp set called Wryn – Somebunny Loves You<\/a><\/span> (photopolymer stamp set I used is now retired but it’s still available digitally). \u00a0I stamped out Wryn with her two bunny friends and then masked her off to surround her with four more bunnies peeking around her and popping up on top of her. Then I stamped out two more bunnies just to Wryn’s\u00a0right and another bunny peeking in from the upper left corner of the card front. Isn’t Wryn so LUCKY\u00a0to be surrounded by all this critter love?! Having the 3 “clusters” of images I think gives the card design a visual balance.<\/p>\n

I used the following TON of Copic markers (but I know a similar look could be achieved with much fewer, but as I said, this was just pure play for me so I didn’t hold back):
\nBunnies and Wryn’s Skin: N0, N1, N3, W0, W1, W3, E40, E41, E43, E21, E31, R20, R30, E50, E51, E53
\nWryn’s Stripey Sleeves and Bunny Ears: C2, C5, C7, R20, RV55, and 0 for dotting on ears for texture
\nWryn’s Hair: E35, E37, V06 and Y11
\nBlue Pants: B14, B21 and B37
\nRazzle Berry\u00a0Top: RV52, RV55 and RV17
\nLavender Sky: Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Shaded Lilac water colored on and then sketchy squiggly texture added with BV31 and V20
\nGrass: YG25 and G14 with squiggly texture added over top with YG25 again<\/p>\n

Then to add a little more interest on this single-layered card, I cut away a small border on either side of the card front so that little bunny ears would hang over the edges. I used my paper trimmer to make the straight cuts and fussy cut around the bunny ears, inking the edges with a Momento Tuxedo Black Marker<\/a><\/span> to finish off the edges. I put the card front, now trimmed down, onto a vibrant blue card base so I could get a pop of color that coordinated with Wryn’s pants and frame out the whole scene. I heat embossed the\u00a0sentiment (also from the stamp set) with Ranger Super Fine Detail White Embossing Powder<\/a><\/span> on black card stock, cut it into a banner shape, and popped that up on double sided foam adhesive for a little dimension.<\/p>\n
