ICAD DAY #12

Hello Friend

I had to take a day off from the challenge. Sometimes the rest of life just get's in our way of crafting, but I am back, renewed and ready to carry on. I really enjoy making greeting cards.  They are a functional piece of art that you get to share with friends and love ones. I decided to go with a greeting cards style today.  I love this little bunny, she is so cute.

We have had a bunch of bunnies in our yard this month.  They have been enjoying the fresh grass.  I love to watch them hop through the grass. munching as they go.  I think it does us and the Earth good when we can learn to live with nature.  That was my inspiration to color this sweet little bunny.

I did put the marker directly on the water color paper on her dress and bow.  Then used a water brush to smooth it out. When I colored the bunny, I decided not to put the marker right on the paper, but pick it up from an acrylic block with the water brush.  I needed a slightly smaller brush though for some areas.  I did some shading on the dress and the bunny, but I am still practicing on where to put my shading. 

The flowers were so small, I just filled them in with yellow marker.  The finishing touch, a little bling in on her bow.  I think it just gives her a little pop.  

Here is a list of the supplies I used for he card:

• Craft paper
