Handmade hugs {Lili of the Valley}

Hi, crafty friends. I have another spring themed card to share. I can’t wait for spring to arrive (although we’re technically 10 days into spring already), but with temps in the double digits below 0, there’s no chance of that happening any time soon, so I’m pretending with cardstock and cute images.

These guys are from the Spring Rabbits stamp set that came out a couple of weeks ago from Lili of the Valley. I colored the rabbits with Copics, fussy cut them all leaving a thin white border and then added some shine to their eyes with a black glaze pen, and then went in with a dot of white Gelly Roll 05 once the black was dry.

Onto the card base, I ink blended Fresh Leaf and Eastern Sky inks from Altenew to create a soft background that went from green to blue. I then added splatters of my sheer shimmer spray from Imagine. It’s not really visible in the photos, but in real life it adds a bit of sparkle.

I die cut three circle openings in a quarter piece of white cardstock and mounted it with foam tape to the card base.

I added foam tape to the back of my critters, popping each of them into the circle openings. I stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment from InkyWings onto a piece of Mushroom cardstock from Concord & 9th, mounted it on foam tape and added it to the card.

To finish off the card I added sequins from the Rosy Glow mix from Little Things from Lucy’s Cards.

Such a simple color palette for this one. Aside from the colors of the fur, which differ for each bunny, I used the same colors throughout.
