Penny Black and More - April Challenge

Good morning and happy Sunday! The April theme has just gone live at the Penny Black and More challenge blog and hope you can join us this month. We have some fantastic prizes to give away by Penny Black, Woodware and Rare Earth, so please do join us for your chance to win! 

Our theme this month is an easy one - Springtime - just be sure to remember stamping must be the focal point of your creation (PB stickeroos are the only exeption).

The critters and the grass are all stamps by Penny Black The bunnies were stamped on watercolor paper using  Versafine Clair Nocturne and watercolored with  Zig Clean Color Markers with a  Zig Detailer Waterbrush. Fussy cut to add to the design. The bunny with bird image is a wood mounted stamp called Sweet Talk. This particular stamp is retired but Penny Black re-released it as part of a clear stamp set called Garden Friends. The bunny sitting in a flower pot is part of the stamp Bunny Friends, which is a large stamp featuring a row of bunnies in flower pots, but I masked the rest of them off and used only one.

The flower shed is a stamp and die from Hero Arts January Kit (kit particular kit has unfortunately sold out). It's also been stamped on watercolor paper, colored with Zig markers and then cut out using the matching die. I stamped/ colored the awning twice and then fussy cut it the second time. Some inking on the bottom portion for some dirt and I used Stampin Up's retired set "Itty Bitty Backgrounds" for some interest. The grass is from Penny Black older set Enjoy Life.  For the sentiment I used one  from the same Hero Arts kit (happy), and then I used "Hello" from My Favorite Things' Label Maker set, which is retired, but this set by Altenew is similar. Before adhering the image panel to the card base, I added two strips of pattern papers.
