Special Guest - Candice Fisher - Bunny Balloons

Our very special guest Candice Fisher is back on the Whimsy blog today sharing her cutie dutie slim line Bunny Balloons card with you today, how cute is this...?!

I have an adorable slim line card for you today using the cutest bunnies from the Bunny Balloons stamp set at Whimsy Stamps. I love Deb Davis's collections and this stamp set is one of her fabulous creations!

 

I used three of Deb Davis's Whimsy stamps products for this card:

• Bunny Balloons stamp set
• Sun Rays stencil
• Fly By stamp set

I have really been enjoying making slim line cards and my crafty friend, Nicky Meek, has helped me with the right size to create with and she inspired me to create this card with one of her designs! My go to slim line cards start with an 8 1/2 x 11 thick white cardstock that I trim to make an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 size card base. This allows to create your card base and leaves enough left to add to the front of your card! You can use 9A size envelopes that can be found at your local craft store or online easily and they even make plastic sleeves to store this size!

 

Now onto how I created this card! I started by trimming watercolor paper to leave a large white border, inked with cracked pistachio oxide ink on 2/3rd's of the bottom and inked the top with a small portion of the sun rays stencil using dried marigold. I then splashed with some shimmer sprays in similar colors to the inks. While I let that dry, I stamped the sooo adorable bunnies from the bunny balloons stamp set, the clouds from the fly by stamp set, colored with copic markers, and then fussy cut out.

 

On the top of the card I trimmed a piece of watercolor paper, stamped with the get carried away sentiment with versamark, heat embossed in WOW ultrafine white embossing powder, and then inked with the dried marigold. I added the smallest bunny along with the upside down bunny and some of the clouds varying with pop dots and gluing down for dimension.

 

On the bottom, I trimmed another piece of watercolor paper, stamped the on your special day sentiment using WOW ultrafine white embossing powder and inked with cracked pistachio. I then added the large bunny with a few clouds and then added some white sequins on the card. 

I hope this card brightens your day and makes you smile as it does for me! You can share your creations with us on Whimsy Stamps and Inspirations on Facebook and you can also join the current Whimsy Stamps challenge for a chance to win! 

Thank You! Candice
