Unique Shaped Deco/Created By hand Challenge

A few weeks back Created By Hand had a challenge using this cute bunny template. I have been super busy lately so I never had the chance to create anything, but I really really wanted to *lol* So I kept the template until I got a chance to work on something. Then I realized I had an exchange in Altered Art Bliss for 'odd shaped' decos.... THIS WAS PERFECT! So I created the background paper using a crayon batik tutorial (one of my favorites tutorials) and cut it out using the bunny template.

I then used the Picasso quote stamp I have by inkadinkado 'Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.' Its stamped in black dye based ink.

I drew out flourish's with a black sharpee, because I dont have any flourish stamps just yet *lol*. I used my white gelly roll pen to add white accents to the flourishs in various places.

I added a bow tie and purple gem as well as a black button for the eye. The bunny was then stampled together in a book format by the tail with about 6-8 blank bunnies inside for decoing.

I really really enjoyed creating this! I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

Hand Drawn Skinny

In Altered Art Bliss I am participating in a Hand Drawn Skinny exchange... I thought I would take time out and create things out of enjoyment and sort of unwind from all of the drama and chaos of wedding planning (dont ask, long story! *lol*) S0 this is the result of one of the skinnies :) I know its plain but I work better with graphite, then any other material so I just did what I do best. Im thinking about doing something totally different for my second skinny. We'll see. I will post one when I get it finished. I have a feeling in the next days I will be blogging more and more with creations :) Stay tuned!
