Spring: Bunny Triplets Birthday!

Resubmitting for the Spring challenge! :-)

 

One of my friends has triplets that are about to turn one year old. So I decided to make a fun card in the shape of the number 1 for their birthday! This is the resulting card and matching envelope. There is just a bit of pale green dye sponged between the bunnies on the envelope to give that hint of grass!

 

When making this card, I selected a very thick patterned cardstock by BoBunny for the card base. And because the main part of the card is so narrow, I didn't want to add a lot of bulk to the front that would make it imbalanced and not stand up well for display. That's why I decided to keep things simple with paper piercing and embossing, and why I adhered the bunnies directly to the card without pop dots.

 

Materials used:

* A2 envelope (to hold 4.25" x 5.5" card)

* bone folder

* BoBunny Double Dot double-sided cardstock: Wasabi (green)

* cardstock: white

* chipboard from food product to make template

* Hero Arts CL153 Happy Day Animals (bunnies)

* Hero Arts CL155 Playful Animals ("hip hip hooray")

* Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Giga punch (purple): 3" circle (when making template)

* mousepad

* Odorless mineral spirits (OMS) - Mona Lisa brand (Michael's)

* pencil

* Prismacolor Premier colored pencils

* Ranger Archival Ink (waterproof): jet black

Edited to add:

 

The triplets were born on Easter Sunday last year (March 23rd) which is why I used the bunnies! :-)
