Time to get down to my Bunny Hop project! My dies are the S4-211 Tulip Borderabilities and the S4-308 Labels One Small die templates. My card size is 5-1/4" square.
I've been wanting a companion to the original Labels One die templates for almost as long as we've had Labels One. Why? Because I love Labels One, I love mat layers, and I was tired of having to cut them by hand or cobble them together from cut-down pieces! So, enter S4-308 Labels One Small, a perfect companion to Labels One.( The focal image layer above is cut with Labels One Small, and the mat layer with Labels One.)
My second Bunny Hop die template, the S4-211 Tulip Borderabilities, makes a lovely border; it took me a bit of experimentation to decide that I liked it best against a simple backdrop. So, here's what I did with it.
I cut the Tulip border in three colors, then trimmed my green layer so that I could mat the light pink border. (The dark pink layer is really light pink, inked with Pink Grapefruit ink). Finally I cut pieced the leaves and blooms from the green and dark pink layers into the holes in the light pink layer. Make sense?
Next I was ready to work on my focal image. I needed some very simple tulips that would work well with the stylized tulip die image. I also need them to fit into a square format and leave room for a sentiment. Believe it or not, I didn't have one like that; so I pulled out some tulip photographs and used a couple of them to sketch a simple tulip image. It was about twice the size I used here, so I shrunk it to 50%, printed it on my inkjet printer, and stamped the sentiment beside it before cutting it with a S4-308 Labels One Small die template. The sentiment stamp is from the JustRite Stampers The Greatest Joy set.
All other supplies are listed at the end of the post.My featured die templates are the S4-211 Tulip Borderabilities,
and the S4-308 Labels One Small.
