Spring Scrap Card….

After yesterday’s spring binge, I had a little piece of the patterned paper left over.  I also had this colored bunny image.  So…  what the heck, I put them together….

The bunny and sentiment stamps are from the Hippity Hoppity cling set with images from Eat Cake Graphics.  The patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Urban Prairie pad. 

My image was colored with Copic Markers, but didn’t have a sky.  So I added sky with Distress ink.

I cut the image out with a circle Nestibility die, embossed it and left the die in place. 

Then I covered the image with a mask made from Eclipse paper.  I love this stuff because it is sticky all over the back and the paper is thin but sturdy.  So after I use my mask, I store it in the CD case with the stamps.  That way, I don’t have to cut a new one out next time.

I then used Broken China distress ink and stippled it on with a duster brush.  When the sky is as dark as you want it, just remove the die and the mask. 

Keeping the die in place will give you a white ring around the image.  I really like that effect.  If I was making the image from scratch, I’d color the “grass” with the die in place so the white went all the way around.  

Thanks for stopping by to see my spring scrap card.  Don’t forget our Birthday challenges for a chance at some prizes.
