I love the expressive Blah Bunny series from Honey Bee Stamps. They are so whimsical and they are perfect for funny cards; I know this card for my brother will make him smile. For today’s card, I am drawing from my childhood memories of wresting with my older brother (he’s 5 1\/2 years older than me so you can imagine the abuse I withstood and how much I WISHED he would let up) and him acting all innocent whenever he was caught.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I decided to combine the flattened bunny from the original “Blah Bunny” stamp set<\/a><\/span> and positioned the sprawled out seated bunny with arms back from the “Blah Humbunny” stamp set<\/a><\/span> to create a scene of two bunnies caught in a moment of full-on sibling wrestling. I first stamped out the seated bunny slightly askew, masked him with a post-it note cut out, and then stamped the flattened bunny underneath him. I really like how it looks like the seated bunny has pinned his sister, and how she looks like she may be squeezing her way out from under him.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I used the following Copic colors to color up the scene:
\nFlattened Bunny: E30, E31, E33, R30, R32 and W7 (nose)
\nSeated Bunny: W0, W1, W3, R30 and
\nWood floor: E55, E57, E59
\nBackground wall: Y11 with golden halo around the bunnies added with Prismacolor Colored Pencils<\/a><\/span> in Sunburst Yellow (PC917), Yellow Ochre (PC 942), and Goldenrod (PC 1034)
\nI also added white highlights to the eyes and noses with a Uniball Signo White Gel Pen<\/a><\/span> and intensified the stamping after the color pencil coloring that faded them out with a 0.03 pt Copic Multiliner Pen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For the sentiment that brings the whole scene together, I stamped out “Dear Santa, I can explain…” from the\u00a0“Blah Humbunny” stamp set<\/a><\/span> with Versafine Black Onyx Ink<\/a><\/span>. Then I sprinkled Ranger Black Embossing Powder<\/a><\/span> over top and used my heat tool to set and make is embossed and shiny. I wanted to golden halos around the bunnies to be re-emphasized so I cut down the card front a bit and adhered it to a shiny gold card base, with just an 1\/8th of the card base showing all around.<\/p>\n
