Chubby bunny! Chubby bunny! Chubby bunny! Did any of you play that game when you were kids? We’d keep putting more marshmallows in our mouths and see how long we could keep sounding coherent. Miles of silly sugar-powered laughs!
Well this card isn’t that level of silly, but it’s pretty fun anyway. I stamped almost all the bunnies (one ended up on the envelope), and gave them a little garden to enjoy, too.

When stamping and masking, have a black pen on hand that works with the medium you’re coloring with…then the masks needn’t be perfect, you can just draw in little bits that didn’t get connected.
And don’t forget the envelope! That’ll definitely tell your recipient this is HAPPY mail. No bills!
I wanted to make a clean and simple colored card – with a limited palette. Not limited markers, but the number of visible colors being really streamlined. I think I accomplished the goal, whatcha think?

Colors used – with an overall effect being a clean and simple palette.
Masking only involved masking the big bear’s arm, and masking away the dog leash entirely and drawing it back in so it led to the little bear’s paw.
It’s been a while since I’ve shared any shading maps! These are quick step-by-step sketches to map out the shading…dark, mid tone, light.
The little scripty background in this one was fun – to fade out the “you you you” in the background, I just lightly erased after getting all the pencil in place!

Since we’re experimenting with Wednesdays I thought it could be a good time to try them out again and see what feedback is. Remember, I’m watching comments/shares/pins on Wednesday posts this year, so as you see helpful things, you’ll be helping me decide what to do more of by sharing it!

When coloring a “single” color like Living Coral, build a set of colors around it – darker and lighter. And be prepared to adjust a little, like I did by adding a tidge of R22 to the R0 family to make it a little pink-er.
I’ve kept my cards really simple – just glued them onto card bases and rounded the bottom two corners.
Play with the position of stamps – sometimes having them slide off the card front entirely makes for a super playful card!
I stamped the heart and words above the little blue monster before stamping him – and just had to draw in little arms. The other monster needed just a triangle of paper to wrap his little bouquet!
My little project today is so cute I decided to post it today….partly so I had an excuse to write a blog post and pass on a little heads up too! (See that after the video and pics!) These were treats I gave out at a Christmas luncheon but made them so they’d also work for a Valentine’s project, since I’m pretty sure you’re done with holiday projects by now. And iif not…well, you’re done. Let’s just say that. Heehee! Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.

Whatever little critters you decide to put on the wobblers, they can be stamps or diecuts, or just pretty hearts. Whatever you want on yours! But these birds are just CUTE!
Colors used on my little birdies….Best little bird army ever!
For my bonus card – I’ve turned the birds into chickadees and put them all among the snowy branches, singing their little hearts out!
Heads up!
In case you don’t remember – tomorrow starts a 2 day sale on classes! That way if you’re giving (or receiving) a gift card for a present, the money goes a little further! Buy a gift card now.
It’s getting late to show any more Christmas cards (scroll back through my blog if you still need ideas, I’ve shared a gajillion!) – so how about some simple stamped kraft bags? I picked these up at my dollar store – and can easily make the 20 needed! Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.
And I’m also guesting on the MFT blog today using the same stamp set and my Albrecht Durer pencils….go see!
