Both Bunnies

I can't get enough of the Lucky Bunnies set from The Greeting Farm. These images are so cute and so fun to color! I used them for two different sketch challenges today.

This one is for this week's Mojo Monday challenge. I used the bunny with the balloon to fit the tall image panel in the sketch. The bunny is colored with Copic markers and embellished with Shimmerz on its ears and white Fun Flock on its belly. I stamped the balloon on a scrap, colored it, cut it out, then coated it with Shimmerz before attaching it to the image panel with a dimensional.

I used the "happy birthday" sentiment from TGF's Happy Chef set on the rotated square panel (the math content person I work with at my day job would have a *fit* if I called it a diamond--LOL!). I used a pair of Petaloo flowers for an embellishment at the bottom of the panel. There's a pink rhinestone at the center of the pair for some sparkle.

Materials Used:
Lucky Bunnies and Happy Chef stamp sets (The Greeting Farm); white Pure Luxury cardstock (Gina K Designs); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers (Copic Ciao); Regal Rose Classic ink, Pink Pirouette cardstock, dimensional (Stampin' Up!); Sweet Blush satin ribbon (Papertrey Ink); flowers (Petaloo); self-adhesive rhinestone (Studio 18); patterned paper (My Mind's Eye); Pink Shimmerz; white Fun Flock (Stampendous)

This one is for last week's Viva la Verve sketch challenge. I think it's the first one of these challenges that I've done without Verve stamps, but the already stamped and colored bunny image lying on my desk fit the sketch perfectly.

I used SU!'s Polka Dot background to create a simple background on the Barely Banana card base. The patterned cardstock panels are scraps from SU! Prints and Patterns designer paper packs. I have a big bag with lots of scraps of all shapes and sizes of this paper, so I'm always looking for an opportunity to use some of them.

The bunny image is again colored with Copics and embellished with some white Fun Flock. I added a tiny rhinestone to the center of the flower. The rounded edge panel with the stamped image is attached to the cardfront with a dimensional.

I'm off to sleep now. Cosmo the crazy dog has been dropping "hints" that it's bedtime for a while now. He's exhausted from his bath earlier today! He looks so cute when he's all clean and fluffy.
