Good Morning all
Time for the mid way post for We Love Stamping where the theme for January is
SOMETHING NEW
Just remember to include stamping
Ive gone with another new stamp set, when I saw it in the sale I knew it would be perfect for my dads birthday card in December, he is always battling the wildlife in his vegetable garden especially the pesky rabbits. There are several different rabbit stamps in this set so i decided to use them all on one card and make a kind of story scene
DL card (4x8") I folded the front in half and back on itself. This first image shows the front and part of the back
On all the panels i used printed paper to build a field scene with a blue purple paper for the sky and a greeny one for the grass, this green one i tore the top edge and inked to give a bumpy grass like texture and layered them up.
I stamped the rabbits onto white, added a little colour with alcohol markers and cut out....of course the wild rabbits aren't white but i kept mine white to stand out against the background and save on colouring in! I stamped lots of carrots from both this set of stamps but also some smaller ones i had from an aall&create set
On the front left panel I added the one running rabbit
The back panel, I added the rabbit pulling his carrots out, adding lots of extra carrots flying through the air as he is working that fast😂 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕
Then to the right the rabbit catching them & hugging the precious perfect carrot
On the hidden panel which you see on opening the card up I added the 2 smaller rabbits, one with his head in the ground looking for where the carrots are and one having a little snooze after eating the carrots when he should be on look out duty!
I computer printed my sentiment/quotes to match my little story, cut them out, inked the edges with a black pen and adhered into place.
Glossy accents added to the eyes and 2 orange enamel dots to the corners to finish.

Creative Expressions stamp set #UMSDB179 'No bunny like you'

ReplyDeleteThose rabbits are such fun and sound perfect for your Dad's Birthday card, also sounds like his garden resembled Watership Down as does ours.
