I love little storybook images….and I love pretending I’m in a Beatrix Potter book with sweet little critters! I used a bunny I saw recently in a park as my inspiration to use browns and greys together, and provide some colored pencil tips along the way.

I kept the design out of the center of the card…the rabbit is about in the middle but her scene is off-center both horizontally and vertically. The bow helps pull the eye that direction too, and all that white space provides rest for the eyes.

Colors used….all Polychromos:

I used the same pencils on the inside, but left the mouse more brown in the fur, and used the purple for the dress and yellow instead for the flowers. Writing a sweet little “thanks for being a patron!” note right beside her will be perfect!
