Rainbow Easter Bunnies

Hello my friends, I'm sharing a rainbow easter bunny card using Simon Says Hoppy Birthday 4" x 6" stamp set, the Hoppy Birthday co-ordinating set of dies and sentiments using Simon Says Ear-resistably Cute 6" x 8" stamp set and dies.

I  stamped the bunny image from Simon Says Hoppy Birthday on to scraps of Distress Watercolor card inked with Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, Uncharted Mariner and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide inks.

and die-cut using the co-ordinating Hoppy Birthday dies

I fixed the bunnies in rainbow order on to Distress Watercolor card trimmed to 4.3/4" x 6.3/4", the back row fixed flat with Distress Collage Medium and the front row popped up on foam squares to create dimension.

I stamped the sentiments from Simon Says Ear-resistably Cute 6" x 8" stamp set on to Distress Watercolor card, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and die-cut using the co-ordinating dies. I used the sentiment dies to cut extra pieces to layer behind the sentiments to create dimension.

I stamped the hearts from the Hoppy Birthday stamp set on to Distress Watercolor card, inked with Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink, die-cut with the co-ordinating dies, fixed to the card with foam squares and added Ranger Glossy Accents to the hearts and used to add dots on the background. I fixed the die-cut layered sentiments in place with Distress Collage Medium.

To finish I matted the panel on to Distress Black HeavyStock, trimmed to leave a small border and fixed to a 5" x 7" top folding white card blank.

TAG IT

I decorated a Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Etcetera Tag using Studio Light Grunge Collection 8" x 8" Paper Pad, Grunge Paper Elements Frames and Tags and used Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Script Mini Layering Stencil from Set 49, Distress Grit Paste with Bundled Sage and Walnut Stain Distress Embossing Glazes to add texture and interest on the background.

I covered the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Etcetera Tag with the Studio Light Grunge Collection  8" x 8" paper using Distress Collage Medium and a Distress Collage Brush.

I sanded the edges using a Tim Holtz Mini Round Blending Tool and Sanding Disk to remove the excess paper and added 3 of the ephemera pieces from the Studio Light Grunge Paper Elements Frames and Texts pack.

I applied Distress Grit Paste Opaque through Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Script Mini Layering Stencil from Set 49 and sprinkled with a mix of Bundled Sage and Walnut Stain Distress Embossing Glazes.

Once the Distress Grit Paste had dried, I heat set to melt the Embossing Glazes.

I selected floral ephemera pieces from the Grunge Paper Elements Frames and Tags pack, sanded the edges and inked with Scorched Timber Distress Ink using a Tiny Blending Tool.

I fixed the floral ephemera in place popped up on 3D foam pads and added a twine bow.

I trimmed the sentiment strip from the Grunge Paper Elements Frames and Tags pack, sanded the edges and fixed to the Etcetera Tag.

To finish I added Rub-On butterflies from 49thandMarket Color Swatch Charcoal Collection.

Simon Says - Hoppy Birthday

Hello my friends, Spring has definitely arrived in my little corner of the planet, blue skies and warm sunshine for a week or so and I've been spending lots of time tidying up in the garden, getting ready for planting up lots of pots with summer colour and giving the lawn it's first haircut of 2025. But I did manage to sneak into the cubbyhole and make some cute Spring birthday cards using Simon Says Hoppy Birthday 4" x 6" stamp set, the co-ordinating dies, the beautiful Argyle Builder set of stencils and pastel shades of Distress Oxide inks.

I die-cut Distress Watercolor card using Simon Says Postage Edge Wafer dies to create 2 - 3.1/2" x 4.3/4" panels.

I used Simon Says Argyle Builder set of 3 stencils to colour the panels with Spun Sugar, Cracked Pistachio and Scattered Straw Distress Oxide inks, applied with Simon Says Round Detail Blending Brushes and used Simon Says Intense Black ink with the third stencil to add the stitched detail.

I inked the floral cluster from Simon Says Hoppy Birthday 4" x 6" stamp set, inked with Simon Says Intense Black ink and stamped on to the panels. I stamped the bunny and heart from the stamp set on to a scrap of Distress Watercolor card, inked with Spun Sugar and Scattered Straw Distress Oxide ink, stamped the floral cluster over the bunnies and die-cut using the matching Hoppy Birthday set of water dies. I coloured a scrap of Distress Watercolor with the same Distress Oxide colours, stamped the sentiment and die-cut.

I trimmed Mini Pom Poms to create a flat back and fixed to the bunnies using Distress Collage Medium

I fixed the bunnies, sentiments and hearts in place with Simon Says 3D foam squares, matted the panel on to white card, trimmed to 3.1/2" x 4.3/4"", matted again on to Cotton Candy and Lemon Chiffon Simon Says Cardstock trimmed to 3.2/4" x 5" and fixed to A2 white card blanks. To finish I added Ranger Glossy Accents to the hearts.
