I created four cards using the new and adorable Bunny Blessings clear stamp set. All of my cards are one-layered cards that I stamped and masked (with some Gina K Designs Masking Magic Sheets) onto my card fronts so that I could add ink blending around them. However, there are coordinating die sets available if you are interested.
My first card illustrates the sweet little lamb from the set along with the beautiful Blessed Die Set. For my background, I used a blend of Seafoam, Bubblegum, Melon, and Sunbeam Pawsitively Saturated Inks. I also used Copic Markers to color my images (Lamb: 0, W00, W1, W3, W5; Pinks: RV00, RV10, RV63, BG90; Greens: G40, G43, G46).
For my second card, I used the sweet little group of chicks that come in the set. I also used the egg stamp that comes in the set after masking the images that would show up in the front of the card. I once again stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then masked my images. I used some Seafoam Ink for my background sky and Copic Markers for the grass as well as my chicks, and Easter eggs.
I absolutely love every image in this set! I combined the sweet little bunny with the Easter basket along with the carrot house in my third card. For my background, I used a light blending of Marine Ink and Copic Markers to color the rest of my card.
For my last card, I used some Bubblegum Ink for my background and Copic Markers to color my images. (Bunny: 0, W00, W1, W3, W5; Grass: G40, G43, G46; Purples: BV00, BV01, BV08; Pinks: RV00, RV10, RV63, BG90.)
