Hello friends and welcome back! I hope this finds you safe and healthy! It's sketch week at The Paper Players and the lovely Claire has created an excellent and versatile one.
I'm also joining the current Anything Goes challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.
With Easter coming up, I thought this sketch would work perfectly for my cute little Bundle Girl and her BIG chocolate bunny!!
Isn't that adorable? After stamping with Gina K Amalgam ink I used Copic markers to color up the scene. The colors are similar to those on the packaging picture, except I switched them around a bit. The picture is also a great guide for shading, taking some of the guess work out of it.
Next I used a large oval to cut out the image. Because it is so large, I had to adjust my card size to 4.5" x 5.75" (fortunately I have an envelope punch board, so I can make a custom envelope). I also die cut an A2 sized scallop rectangle to layer beneath and found some long retired textured card stock in Early Espresso for the strip elements.
I decided the pink layer looked a bit too plain so I found some sweet little leaf, berry and floral images with which to create my own background, using white pigment ink to keep it very subtle. You can see it in the bottom right corner in the photo above. Much of it is covered up with the other layers but it just adds that "somethin', somethin'" that I felt was missing. Lastly, the oval was added to the main card with fun foam, then I stamped the sentiment in brown and layered it on the oval with thin foam squares.
Thank you for visiting, I always appreciate it so much! Take care, stay healthy and I hope you'll be able to take your mind of the current state of affairs and join the Paper Players' challenge this week!

This card has cuteness overload Stef - bags I the HUGE chocolate bunny! Beautifully coloured and I love the added stamp detail on the back panel, which I didn't notice at first. My favourite card this week!
