Springtime Baby Bunny

(Catchupmageddon Post). I had in a commissioned card for a very special new baby! I have made a lot of cards for this family, including the wedding invitations of the now new Mum & Dad so I was very happy to be asked to make this very happy card!

 I have used the "Springtime" stamp  from Whimsy Stamps, artwork by Sylvia Zet. I actually have this as a physical stamp but I shall link here to the digital one.

The theme for the nursery was pink, grey and rabbits so I stuck to that for the card too. I don't often colour in pencils on white so this was an interesting challenge for me and took me a lot longer than it takes me on kraft card, I don't know why!

Once I had matt and layered it onto pink card I used papers from "Itsy Bitsy Baby Girl" from K& Co for the layout behind, which are luckily the same kind of colour scheme. It's an old 8x8 pad from my stash but I believe it's still available!

The main font is East Coast Stationery and the smaller font is Delinquente Alt 1 Demo.

In the corners I created some flower butterfly shapes with flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, wired branches from the stash and some left over string from their wedding invitations. (I like to add an extra detail that only the recipient would recognise.)

To finished I added some stickles to the flowers and glossy accents to the eyes!

Bunoalas live!

Here for a Knitty Kitty Post! After a bit of a bonkers chat with Lea on Instagram the other day, I was challenged to draw a Bunoala, and here they are! Half bunny, half koala, they sleep for 18 hours a day in carrot trees. :D

To buy them on Etsy Click Here :)

I had a go at colouring them up, and in order to use something other than polychromos (My comfort pencil) I did this in Spectrum Noir pencils. Still on kraft card.

Background paper is from a pad by Kanban called Garden Vistas. Font is Atlas of the Magi. I added some glossy accents to their noses too :)

Pop by the shop to purchase!

Somebunny!

Back with some more joys from The Crafting Desert Divas who have some of the cutest stamps at the moment, luckily Norman has stamped me some of her new ones so I got this fabulous group from the set called "Somebunny" to colour.

 

I coloured the bunnies and their carrot house using copics. I added some glossy accents to their eyes to lively them up a bit. :)

The background is distress inks and oxides splashed with water.

The fonts are Courier and Lobster Two.

 

The washi tape is more from Hobbycrafts, I love the glitter tapes, so much easier than ribbon! I don't feel I have used any ribbon in ages, getting harder and harder to justify all that ribbon storage space in the craft room! :)

The hillside die is from Crafty Kitty Cat Shop. The rectangle die is from Cottagecutz. The background paper is from Tonic, Mid Summer Mornings.

I debated whether to make this into a new home card, or even a new arrival card, but opted birthday in the end. Shows it's quite an adaptable set tho.

Challenge 34

Back again with another Crafty Addicts Challenge Blog post and this time it's for Challenge 34 - ATG/CAS (Anything Goes/Clean and Simple).

We are very lucky to have Polkadoodles sponsoring this month and offering a prize of £6.75, which equates to 3 digistamps from their shop.

I have chosen for my inspiraition card  "Winnie Wonderland - I'm late" featuring a very hurried white rabbit!

I have, as normal, used polychromo pencils on kraft card. I added some sequin bling from the stash and the sentiment is in the font called "Angelina".

Here he is a bit closer - 

We are also running a challenge in our facebook group this month, with a great prize from Dr.Digi's House of Stamps. Pop by The Crafty Addicts on facebook for a look at the DT inspiration and details on how to take part. I'll do a second post today with more deets too.

Hop Day Seven!

Just hopping on by with a very suitable hoppy type image and another link back to the ORIGINAL HOP POST incase you need to look at if for how to take part :)

I wanted to have a go at the digistamp that Helen chose for the hop, BunnyRoo! It's actually the second attempt, I have decided that grey fur on kraft paper is not ideal, and that I should mebbe do a different colour next time! :) He was easy to colour tho, quite quick, which I approve of! lol. If you don't want to try and win him for free in the hop, he is in the etsy shop for sale too.

So I made BunnyRoo into a New Baby Card, always handy to have one in the card hoard! :) He is coloured using polychromo pencils on kraft card. Sequins from the stash and the font is Mister Sirloin. I used a white posca pen to highlight their noses :)

Gorjuss Tszujing?

 Who can resist Gorjuss Girls? (Cross posted to Crafty Magic)

Did anyone else sucumb to the offer at The Range for three new Gorjuss Girl stamps for ten pounds?

I couldn't resist! Plus my friend Grace bought me the "The Hatter" for my birthday and it just made me want more! This stamp is called "Sweet Tea" and was very simple to colour, so-much-so that I think I might do something completely different with it next time and perhaps some paper piecing might tszuj it up! ( No, I'm not sure how you spell it, but I'm not letting that stop me!)

This is a 5 inch square Easel Card. Image coloured with Copics. Santoro Gorjuss Stamp and Santoro Mirabelle Papers. Flowers from Hobby Crafts and Wild Orchid Crafts. Font is "Little Lord Fontleroy".

Please note that none of my Gorjuss Girl Cards are available online and can only be purchased from me personally at Fairs, for example. This is due to the Gorjuss Angel Policy.
