Technique Tuesday: Friends & Flowers Bunny

IMG_7600You can never have enough bunnies….did I really say that?  OK…you can never have enough bunnies on cards, or stuffed bunnies for little kids but the real ones….yes, you can have enough.    In the spring and summer we can have way too many in our yard and they’re not afraid of us.  They just sit there and look at you with those cute little faces eating our grass.  Good thing I don’t have a garden!

I like bunnies on cards.  How about this adorable little fellow peeking out at you?  He’s from the Friends & Flowers stamp set.  I actually cased the tag portion of this card right from the Occasions Catalog.  I love it when someone else does the work for me!  Ha!

If you’re wondering how to stamp the ears behind the head it’s a simple technique called masking.  I first stamped the little bunny face on my card stock.  Then I punched a 1 1/4″ circle from a sticky note and placed it right over the bunny face.  The next step is to stamp your ears.  The bottom portion of the ear stamps on to the sticky note so when you remove the sticky note you only see the top portion of the ears.  Ta da!  It’s magic and one of the easiest techniques you’ll find in stamping.  It works great when you want to stamp leaves peeking out from behind a flower and things like that.  Give it a try!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
