A simple Easter card ready to wing its way to University as my youngest son has finally gone back after a two week Christmas break turned into a three month holiday *sigh...
Ya gotta keep it real and cool when kids are at University... its funny isn't it how a card can embarrass them but damn they're not too old for a chocolate parcel, hmm!
For this card I used a very old wooden stamp from Penny Black called Bun Bun and combined it with a Simon Says Stamp sentiment.
Coloured with Prisma pencils after stamping the image with Ink on 3 so I could do my favourite no line colouring.
The ladies at As You Like it would like to know what our favourite Springtime critters are and mine is bunnies,.. chocolate Lindt ones are a real favourite *wink, wink!

ReplyDeleteThis is one adorable bunny Claire! Love his long ears and the flower tucked in, I'm sure it only embarrasses your son on the outside but inside he'll love it as a memento from home. Your colouring is stunning as always. I have some of this ink and haven't opened it, I could always send it to you lol! Cathy x

ReplyDeleteHi Claire
ReplyDeleteA really beautiful card .. .. I didn't recognise your cute image as a Penny Black stamp.
Love your colouring very much. You are brilliant at the "no-line" technique.
Have a good Easter.
Love Jules xx
I love your no-line colouring. The card is gorgeous and no one is ever too old for chocolate parcels and that's a fact :D
