Making a bunny with these colors definitely crossed my mind but instead I decided to use a couple of cute die sets to make a fun little scene. Since the dies are new, I'll be linking up to Darnell's NBUS as well.
I started out by inking the background using a cloud stencil and a light pink ink on an A2 panel of white.
Next all the elements were die cut from white, which were colored with a variety of inks in pink, gray and brown. For the sentiment, I took the inkpad direct to paper, let it dry overnight, then die cut it.
I started creating the card front with the branch, which I layered on two additional die cuts, then wrapped some hemp twine on it before adding it to the top of the panel. The twine was pulled taut, then I used a little tape to hold it in place.
Then came the birdhouse and fun little birdies. I put the house together first, added foam tape to the back and positioned it so that the roof hid the taped twine. The interior panel is also cut from the die but it's hard to get it exactly centered, so next time I think I'll create a slightly larger one. After adding the birdies, the layered die cut sentiment was centered and I was done.
I encourage you to use the link above to see what my oh, so talented teammates have created with this color combination. After seeing all that great inspiration, I hope you'll head off to your crafty space and join us! The challenge will remain open until Thursday, August 14th at 3pm EDT.
Thanks for visiting and take care!
