Paper Cuts

My Favorite Things is releasing two new sets Wednesday evening, one of which is Eggstra-Special Easter.   Aren’t those big ears adorable? 

The last time I was in my semi-local scrap store, I picked up some of this new patterned paper by Imaginisce called For Peep’s Sake.  (How cute is that?!)  Each paper has glitter on one side and a coordinating color/pattern on the other.   Of course I had to buy one of each…you’ll be seeing it.  :)  I thought it was perfect for this stamp set!

I colored the bunny and the flowers with Copic markers, then added a touch of sparkle to the tulips and leaves with orange and melon Spica glitter pens.  I wasn’t sure whether I *really* needed those as I have other glitter pens, but these add just a touch of shimmer and they dry quickly, so I decided yes, I did in fact “need” them.  ;)   And, as usual, I used a 3-d black gel pen on the bunny’s eyes and nose they’re shiny and raised just a bit.

I used the ribbon to fill a bit of the empty space in the upper corner of the focal image.  Since there wasn’t quite enough room for the knot to the right of the image, I used SU’s slot punch so I could bring the ribbon over just a bit.  It’s a little trick I use often.  Sometimes you can’t even tell I’ve punched a hole as the ends of the knot will cover the area, like here and here.

The focal image is raised on pop dots to accommodate the ribbon underneath, and I added the brads in the corners just to add a bit more interest to the card.  (I like “stuff” on a card.)
