For my card today, I pulled out the adorable Easter Bunny image from Sylvia Zet's Wee Stamps line.  I just love her images and this one is so cute!  I stamped the image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink.  Then, I colored it with copic markers that coordinate with the patterned papers I chose from October Afternoon's Sidewalks paper pad.  I love the colors and papers in this line.  They just seem perfect for spring images.  I used these copic markers to color my image: Y35, YR20, YR21, YR23, R20, R21, R22, R30, BG72, W1, W3, W5, W7, R24, R27, R46, E19, E31, E33, E35, BG11, YG63, YG67, colorless blender.

I die cut the image with a Labels Eight nestability die and then, while the image was still in the die, I masked the image with some Eclipse Masking Tape and used a copic marker (BG11) to spray the sky.  I also sprayed the ground after I added the grass flicks.  (I forgot again about the overspray I get with some colors and ended up with the green overspray.  It looks kind of neat so I just embraced the look and went with it.  It was too late to change it by the time I remembered I should have masked the sky before doing the grass.)

Anyway, I finished my card with some stitching, buttons, May Arts crocheted lace, some Flax baker's twine, and a sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps'  Spring Baskets stamp set.
