Simple Bunny for Paper Players #241

Hello stamping friends! This week at The Paper Players, my sweet friend Nance has a fun theme challenge to play along with: Clean and Simple (CAS) Watercolor. Be sure to check out the challenge for our rules and inspiration from the awesome Design Team.
I decided to ink up this little bunny stamp from Unity Stamp Co. called Little Bunny for You. The sentiment in that set was just too big for what I was planning for the card, so I decided to use a sentiment from the Hello Life set from SU!

Here is a close-up of my awesome watercoloring skills. I’m kidding, they are NOT that great, at all. I tried! I used a combination of Blender Pens (for the details) and Aqua Painters (for the background). I used Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party, Smoky Slate and Daffodil Delight for my color combo. I used Natural White card stock for the background to add a little bit of pop. I thought it looked better than a clean, white design. I wanted to add some embossed texture, like 10 times over, but had to keep reminding myself it was a CAS challenge. Less is more. :)
Please join us over at The Paper Players this week! 
The challenge will close Friday, April 24th, 2015 at Noon (PST).

Before I sign off, I wanted to share one of my favorite photos from the week. I met this cutie while I was taking photos for my friend who runs a rescue here in San Antonio. Her name is Zoe and she seriously OWNED the camera. Can you believe this girl was found abandoned in a local park? She is gorgeous, right? Thankfully she is safe and on her way to a new, loving home. I leave you with a reminder to please adopt, don’t shop for your next furry family member.
Thank you for stopping by today! Please leave a comment to say hello. 
Have a great day and...Happy Stamping! :)

  3. Hi Anne Marie! This is just lovely - I love the white space you left and that bunny looks adorable! Hope all is well with you! Zoe looks so cute! Looks like there is some schnauzer in her. Speaking of schnauzers, Spunky Lexi sends her regards to sweet Emmitt.

  4. This is a wonderful CAS watercolor card! I love your little bunny which you watercolored perfectly! It sure makes me happy that Zoe found a wonderful home - so many don't. My little shelter kitty, Bella, is the sweetest cat that I have ever had and can't imagine my life without her now. BTW the photo of Zoe is beautiful! You both own that camera!
