Rabbit Winter Wonderland Christmas Card

I made this card yesterday, but didn't get round to popping it on here.


















I'd been to the supermarket earlier in the day and was drawn to the free set of stamps on the front of "Crafts Beautiful" December 2017 issue of the magazine.  




I was especially drawn to the rabbit, hedgehog and squirrel stamps, so knew that I would be playing with those.

For this card, I used my water colour pencils to create the blue grey wash for the sky.  

While that was drying, I stamped the rabbit, coloured it in with three shades of Promarkers and then cut out the rabbit shape. 

Using an off-cut of white card, I cut a gently curved slope to replicate a snowy hill, which I stuck on top of the water colour sky.  I then mounted the coloured square onto a piece of brown card and trimmed to size.

Finally, I added sticky foam pads to the back of the rabbit to give a more 3-D look.  I added snowflakes to the sky using a white Signo pen and added the Papertrey Ink sentiment (from their "Winter Hills" stamp set).
