WLS Jan #2 - Carrot fever

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'

Hippedy Hop

Good Morning everyone

Today Im sharing a fun diamond fold card.  I had these rabbits left over from making my 80th farmer card....I also had a left over diamond folded card on my desk so decided to combine the two.

Size when closed 4x4", the middle diamond is approx 2.75" 

I covered the middle and outside panels with a greeny blue wash effect paper and the small triangle side panels with a blue foliage paper, all from the scrap box.  The rabbits were stamped onto white card, watercoloured with inktense pencils and cut out.  I adhered 2 to the outside panels flat and the one on the diamond with glue gel for dimension.

I stamped the greetings, cut out and adhered.

The sentiment is on straight, think must have photographed at a slight angle as it looks wonky! lol 

A simple but fun card.

Showing it open, I used pink dotty paper on the bigger triangle panels to pick up on the pink of the rabbits.  

Showing it stood up from above

and the back, I used the same papers, the greeny one is pale enough to write my greetings on

Items Used:

Katzelkraft stamp set 'farm animals'

Creative expressions stamp set 'UMSDB179' - No bunny like you

Various patterned papers

Smooth white card

Derwent inktense pencils

Thank you all for stopping by.  I hope you all have a good week - looks like its going to be a hot one in the UK so I shall probably be hibernating and good excuse to craft - As I have to avoid the sun as much as possible I shall go out early morning and then in the evenings.  Hugs to you all.
