Hey, guess what? There's a new challenge starting today at Inspiration Station where we offer a different picture each month for inspiration. Our challenges begin on the first Monday of each month and ends on the Saturday before the next challenge begins.
Here's our inspiration picture this month:
Of course, it made me think of Easter and Easter bunnies so when I found the delightful image of Mrs. Bunny sporting her Easter bonnet, I had to use it (see card below.)
The image was originally a grayscale line drawing but I used blue colored pencil to go over each line and added white gel pen to each of the flowers for a highlighting effect. My favorite technique these days is to color grayscale images!
I added the sentiment to a scrap of white CS and mounted the colored image onto it. Both of those were cut with QuicKutz dies. That went onto a layer of gray, cross hatch dp. I doodled around two edges of the dp and added everything to the card front.
Challenges:

That's all I have for today but I hope to see you playing along in our challenge. Let us know what in the photo inspired you. Was it the bunnies, or maybe the sense of spring? the colors? maybe the sweet little bunny kiss? Make something and enter it into the challenge before Saturday, April 5. Because of the way the dates fall, you get almost a week of extra time before the March challenge closes.
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Lots of work going over each line in pencil, but well worth it. Beautifully done. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for our March challenge.
A beautiful old looking image, so very lovely in blue Connie. x
