I have a birthday card to share today...featuring my Penny Black 'Bunny Friends' stamp, which I used recently on an Easter treat bag...but as I only used a couple of the bunnies on that, I wanted to ink it all up this time. I stamped them on to watercolour paper, then coloured them using watercolour pencils...adding a sentiment from the 'Anytime Messages' set by Hero Arts. I paired it with papers from the 'Bright Freshness' pad by Craft Sensations...I distressed the edges, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The paper flowers have been in my stash for years...so long in fact that the store I bought them from (Poppicrafts) has been closed for at least a decade!
