Just Hoppin' By

  Spring has sprung and my back yard and neighbourhood are brimming with rabbits. I am only seeing adults at this point but I know in a few weeks there will be rare sightings of the little ones. The adults are eating the new plant growth in my flower bed but they do it every year and every year I still have flowers and plants so I don't get too upset with them. 

It's spring and the rabbits that inspired my card this week. I challenged myself to use a stamp for a different theme then what it was made for. "Easter Gnome" is perfect for Easter cards but I think he is also perfect for a just because, checking in, thinking of you type card.

Hi!

Easter is around the corner and when I saw this cutie called "Easter Gnome" from the new "This & That" release over at High Hopes Stamps, I knew I had to make a card with it! I mean it doesn't get much cuter than this! I mean look at that cutie peeking out from behind!

Today's papers are from the Echo Park "Welcome Spring" 6x6 collection. I love the pastel colours in this collection. Pastel says "spring" to me and it can't come soon enough after this long snow filled winter. I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured "Easter Gnome" to match my paper selections. I used a Gina Marie Double Roped Circle die to cut out the coloured image and popped it up with foam tape. I love the "Egg-Stra Special" sentiment! Some enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Gnome: E00, E11, E21/ C00, C0, C1, C3, R01, R02

Gnomes outfit: R81, R83, BG32, BG34, BG13

Bunny: W0, W1, W3, R20

Some Bunny Loves You

Welcome Everyone;

I just love it, when stamps can be used for so many different occassions, such as birthdays, Easter, Valentine's Day, as well as no reason at all, but just to give a card.  

The adorable Easter Gnome with his bunny pal and using the sentiment called  Some Bunny are being used for today's card. Both are from High Hopes Stamps, "This & That" Release and being used for no specific occassion but just because....  

After colouring the adorable Easter Gnome with Copic Markers, he was cut out using a Stitched Circle Die from YNS.  The sentiment was cut out from the same die set.  The space between the dots and the curved border, some clear Zig Wink of Stella was added all around.  Some mulberry paper and matching cardstock were cut out using the the Fistail Banner 2, also from YNS.  Some enamel dots finished off the card.
