Birthday slimline card for Crafty Meraki

Hello crafters! For my new post on the Crafty Meraki Blog I made this Birthday slimline card. 

I played with awesome stamp set here – Don't worry be hoppy. Also I used here the word "Birthday" from the Birthday slimline tag die. My idea was to create an atmosphere of a summer evening where the baby bunny sits in a basket and accepts birthday greetings. Isn't that cute?

First, I blended some distress inks onto a white piece of paper. To add texture to the background I splattered the background with watercolor paint.

Next, I die cut a big sentiment "Birthday" from light yellow cardstock and also I cut out it several times from a white cardstock to create a dimensional element on the card. All dimension parts are sticked together 4 die cuts. To embellish the big sentiment I put some glue on it and sprinkled it with glitter. It added a fun finishing touch to the card.

Then I stamped the bunnies and three butterflies. I put one of the bunnies in a basket. I did it in the technique of masking and partial stamping. First, I partially stamped the basket, while I covered the handle of the basket on the stamp with paper tape, applied the ink and removed the tape from the stamp, and then lowered the stamp on the paper. Thus, the image of the basket was not completely stamped. 

I also applied the image to the masking paper, cut it out and pasted it on the stamping image. Then I added the image of a sitting bunny to the basket in the same way, and added bows to the bunny's ears. It turned out to be a cute bunny sitting in a basket. 

I colored the images with copic markers and die cut them out with scissors (coordinating dies available here). I made highlights using white pen. I also stamped the sentiment on the top of the card.

That is it for today. 

Hope you loved my idea and will give it a try.
