Easter Bunny February 2017 Blog Hop

Welcome to the February 2017 SOTM Blog Hop featuring the stamp set Easter Bunny. This month there are almost 20 bloggers sharing projects created with the CTMH Stamp Of The Month. If blog hopping is new to you, we try to keep it easy: click on the link to the next blog (typically near the bottom of the post) to visit the next stop. Our blog hop is circular so continuing to visit the next blog will take you back to where you started.

You should have arrived here from ***Melinda Everitt's If You Bling It***. If you get lost along the way, Melinda Everitt keeps a list of participants on her blog at If You Bling It.

The Stamp Of The Month for February 2017 is Easter Bunny and is a set of 12 stamps. The image outlined in red coordinates with the Cricut® Artistry cartridge available as a physical cartridge (Z3167) or a digital collection (Z3190).

When I think Easter, I think pastels and which lead me to pick up my watercolors, both the paints and pencils, to create this card.

Using the Watercolor Pencils and Waterbrush allowed me to take my coloring with me to color the bunnies and baskets during my lunch break. Using the Watercolor Paints allowed me to quickly create the background. I sped up the drying time by using the Craft Heater. When the background was dry, I stamped the greenery (I curved the stamp on my block to create visual interest and follow the background) and colored the flowers with the Watercolor Pencils. Keeping my Waterbrush fairly dry kept the background and stamping from running.
