Birthday Bunny

Hi there

This is a birthday card I made recently for a very special friend.  It's been so tough not being able to see each other this last year.  Here's to hoping we can very soon as we have so much to catch up on.

I began with a die cut panel (no surprise there!) and stamped the bunny right at the bottom.  Next I stamped the sentiment as the balloon string and then ink blended through a balloon stencil.  I coloured the bunny with Copics and then stencilled the clouds in the background, just inking either side of the images, the blue was light enough not to need any masking.  I finished with the sentiment on the balloon and then adhered the panel to the card base.  It's only now looking at this photo that I realise I forgot to hand draw the balloon string ties and I also didn't realise there was a break in the sentiment...let's pretend it's a magic balloon! lol
