Sending Smiles Across the Miles

Sending Smiles Across the Miles card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from Mama Elephant
I can't resist cute bunny images and the one from Mama Elephant's Up and Away stamp set is one of my favorites.  I colored the image up for this card to fit both the creature theme for the current Addicted to CAS challenge and the colors for the current challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches.

The bunny was colored with Copic markers, then cut out with the matching die.  It's hard to see in the photo, but I used some white flock on the bunny's belly and tail to add some texture to the image.  The large balloon from the Get Carried Away set was also colored with Copic markers and cut out with its matching die.  After stamping the curly string image, I positioned the pieces on a minty green card base using foam tape for dimension.  To ground the images, I used a grass stencil along with mint pigment ink and an ink blending brush to add a subtle hill to the bottom of the card base.  The "sending smiles across the miles" sentiment was stamped to the left of the bunny image to finish the design.

Materials Used:
Up and Away and Get Carried Away stamp sets, Up and Away and Get Carried Away dies (Mama Elephant); Memento Tuxedo Black ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); Mint to Be pigment ink (Avery Elle); markers (Copic); Spearmint cardstock, Grassy Edges stencil (My Favorite Things); white flock (Stampendous); foam tape
