Bunny Burrow Scene Card by Tasha

I’m back with some more Trinity Stamps inspiration for you, but this time I played with the super cute Bunny Burrow stamp set & co-ordinating dies!

I started by stamping a load of images onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black ink. This is my preferred ink when I’m only lightly adding water to the images, but I did heat set it just to be sure that it was totally dry.

Colouring & Diecutting

I grabbed my Arteza Real Brush Pens to colour the images and just got down to colouring! Whilst I love this kind of card, and these adorable critter stamps, I am not as comfortable with them as I am with florals, so I just took my time and enjoyed the process, without worrying too much about getting everything perfect.

To be honest, a little imperfection in blending completely fits with the style of these images and more than likely wouldn’t even be seen on the final project! Whenever I am stressing about getting things perfect that’s what I remind myself, well that and the fact that no handmade card will ever be perfect, nor would the recipient expect it to be!

Scene Building

Once I was happy with my images, I die cut each one out and got to work on my background. I chose a couple of blues and greens from my ink collection, a cloudy border stencil, a grassy bank stencil, blending brushes and an 80lb Neenah A2 panel. I added some rough ink blending to create a sky and ground for my scene to take place on.

I did make a bit of a mistake though because when choosing my inks I should have looked again at the greens I had used on my burrow, but I didn’t and I never realised until I went to assemble my card that they are two completely different greens! Not to worry though, I think it turned out OK in the end! (*And if anyone asks, it was an intentional distinction between the grass where they live and the posh, imported grass they used to construct their Burrow! ?)

Making The Scene

I played around with all of my images to get a layout that I was happy with before I started glueing anything down. I used a mixture of liquid glue and foam squares to give a sense of dimension.

The only thing I feel like this stamp set is missing, is a couple of sentiments; I would have loved to see at least a couple included really, in the same way Mouse House has some. That is really my only criticism of it.
