Love this little bunny! It is such a cute Easter card.

HI!  Here is a cute pocket card!
This was one of the make & takes everyone did at my workshops last week.
It was so fun to make!
I like the bright/springy colors.  
'Everybunny' & 'Blessings from Heaven'
cs:  Crumb Cake, Pool Party Calypso Coral, Watercolor Paper
Everyday Enchantment Designer Paper (SAB)
ink:  Chocolate Chip
markers:  Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Calypso Coral
supplies:  Blender Pens, mat pack, paper-piercing tool, dimensionals, glue dots, scallop trim border punch, large oval punch, modern label punch, 2011-2013 In Color assorted brads, Calypso Coral ruffled ribbon

I am not a very good watercolorer- but thought this card turned out good.  
I was very lucky & did have the opportunity to get to watch & learn about watercoloring from my amazing demonstrator friend Diana Gibbs, when we were both at Founders in St. George, Utah, last fall.
 I learned so much from Di about this technique.  
She loves to watercolor & does an outstanding job at shadowing & such.

NOTE:
I do know that the watercolor paper is so much easier & better to work with than any other card stock when doing this technique.  
If you don't have watercolor paper you can use the Naturals Ivory & Naturals White- but they don't let you blend your colors like the watercolor paper does.  
 Do NOT use Whisper White or Very Vanilla to try to watercolor with, as the paper bubbles & looks yucky when it gets too wet.

Stampin' UP! products used to watercolor with are-
Watercolor crayons, ink pad lids, watercolor pencils & markers 
which can be used with blender pens or aqua painters. 

I hope you find time to try watercoloring sometime soon!

ENJOY!!
Happy Stamping!
