Hippity Hop

My card for this weeks SCS Inspiration Challenge is inspired by this adorable Hop To It Bunny Blanket from Ruche.  Ruch describes itself as "a vintage inspired boutique with a modern touch". Ruche is a collaboration of everything that has inspired its founders - fashion, photography, design, and lifestyle.

I picked up a package of felt stickers at Michael's last week in the Easter decorations section, thinking that they would make fun Easter cards for the nieces and nephews.  

Unfortunately, the quality of assembly of the stickers was so poor, that most of them were not useable.  For the two on my card, I was able to remove the eye gems (which were attached to the poor bunnies' ears) and replace them with a black gem where the eye should be located.  I wanted to use the white felt bunny stickers, but there was yucky adhesive left behind when I remove the eyes that would not come off, so pink & purple it is.

When I went searching for papers to coordinate with my little bunnies, I loved that the best match is actually a winter-themed design ... Crate's Snow Day Collection.  I used this week's CardPatterns Sketch for the layout.

The scallops were cut from a piece of the designer paper.  I cut two strips, so the scallops could face outward on both sides, and then wrapped orange ribbon over the space inthe middle.  I finally found a video that helped me understand how to use my Bow Easy (she films with the camera over her shoulder, so her perspective with the tool was the same as mine ... Sharon has a good picture tutorial here) that I've had forever, so that is how I made my tiny little bow.

I punched some grass and used a tiny strip of foam tape along the bottom, so it could stick out far enough to overlap my foam bunnies.  The bunny background is Hero Arts Wavy Leaf Pattern inked with Turquoise and stamped off once to lighten the color intensity.  I finished with an SRM Sticker sentiment.

I hope you find inspiration.
