Friends Fur-ever

I love my Stamparatus so much!  It  makes my stamping so much more precise!  Not that it wasn't precise before, but now the worry about a number of things are gone.  Like - is the stamping straight, what if the image doesn't stamp well?

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the image from "We Must Celebrate", a stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue, then coloured the image with watercolor pencils and an aqua painter.  I was most upset to see that the Blendabilities are unorderable until the end of May, so it's back to the basics of colouring- for now anyway.

The image was stamped onto a 4 3/4" by 3" piece of Whisper White cardstock, and as I mentioned, the image was coloured with watercolor pencils and a blender pen.
Before adhering it to a 5 by 3 1/4" piece of Soft Suede cardstock, the rabbit was die cut using 2 sizes of oval framelits (Eclipse technique).  The focal piece was then adhered to the Soft Suede layer, and the "O" added to the aperture with foam tape.  The bunny was adhered to the inside using some tombo glue

The card front is Whisper White card stock, layered with Crumb Cake embossed with the Cable Knit Embossing Folder.  Some Soft Suede DSP cut at an angle was adhered to the lower left of the embossed crumb cake layer, and a 1/4" strip of /Crumb Cake card stock adhered to the edge of this DSP overlapping it slightly with the crumb cake layer.

The focal point was added to the card front using dimensionals.

Inks:  Black Memento, Watercolor Pencils
