Tin Can "Hello"

The current Lawnscaping Challenge is to use any kind of critter. Even though I have quite a few Lawn Fawn sets (read: over 10), I only have 1 with a critter. So I knew I had to make a card with the My Silly Valentine bunny. What to do with a bunny? Give it a telephone, of course. And not just a telephone, but a tin can phone. I have no idea where these loony ideas come from. Instead of a card, I made a gift bag (it would have been good for Easter...oh well!). Here's what I came up with:



I used 4 Lawn Fawn sets: My Silly Valentine (bunnies), Partly Cloudy (the hard to discern clouds), Just My Type ("hello"), and Lunar Lights (the tin cans). The bunny on the left is reverse-stamped. I couldn't get a very clear image...any suggestions?

Thanks for looking, and thanks for the continued support! You all are super!

Here are the deets:
Stamps: (Partly Cloudy, My Silly Valentine, Lunar Lights, Just My Type) Lawn Fawn
Ink: (Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko; white (ColorBox)
Cardstock: (blue) Bazzill, (green) DCWV)
Patterned Paper: (Life is Good collection) Echo Park; (bunnies stamped on) American Crafts
Markers: Copics & Sakura Gelly Roll
Ribbon: craft supply

  4. This still makes me chuckle on the second viewing. The 2nd bunny looks fine to me. Either it's perfectly clear or I need my eyes checked. ;)

  7. Oh - and also, I have a video on how I do reverse stamping on my blog. It's listed in the right sidebar on my blog, if you'd like to see it =) The trick to get a darker line is to go over the stamped lines with a black marker after having reverse-stamped it!
