CARD DETAILS

I started working on this card by creating hills for my bunny to sit on. I used my favorite Wavy Scalloped Stitches dies and cut two out of white cardstock. Next I made a mask and masked off the scalloped part (I wanted to keep it white) and stamped the Gingham pattern using Willow ink onto the rest of the die cut. This way I was able to create colorful hills with white scalloped borders. I am explaining how to make a mask for the hills on my video, however I admit, I probably over did it, lol! There definitely is an easier was to make a mask.

I also blended a bit of blue High Dive ink onto the card base to create the sky. That helped the scallops from the top hill to stand out a bit better. The bunny was stamped using new Intense Black ink and colored using a few colors of Copic Markers (I used E000, E00 and R20). Easter eggs were stamped in Duckling, Twirling Tutu and Catkin and were die cut using a matching die.

I also die cut two church buildings for this card as I felt I needed to add something to fill in the background. The sentiment, Oh Hippity Hop was stamped in Versa Fine Onyx Black and was foam mounted onto the card. I also added several clear droplets from Pretty Pink Posh as little accents onto my card.
