Hi everyone, today’s card is a fairly simple one I made for this month’s Lavinia Creative Challenge - “The Joys of Spring”. I love bluebells so I decided to incorporate some into a little scene, along with a cute bunny being as it is nearly Easter!
I took a pre-cut 30cm x 15cm piece of Pink Frog super smooth card, and scored it to make a one-layer card suitable for blending inks directly onto the card base. I masked the card so that I could create an inked vertical panel blending Elements inks and using my acetate Mini Hill and Circle masks. I then removed the masks and stamped my scene using various shades of Versafine Clair. I highlighted the bird and bunny with white Stabilo pencil, and added white Posca accents here and there. I also outlined the sun with Stardus pen and highlighted it with Wink of Stella to add a little sparkle. Finally I stamped the sentiment directly into the card base.
Stamps: Lavinia Bluebells, Trees, Grass, Gate and Fence, Wild Hares (large), Bird Collection, Birds, The World Is Full of Beauty;
Media: Lavinia Elements inks (Blue Lagoon, Pixie Green, Lemon Drop); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Morning Mist, Blue Belle, Very Peri, Medieval Blue, Shady Lane, Portobello); Sakura Stardust pen (yellow); Stabilo pencil (white); Posca pen (white); Wink of Stella (clear);
Tools: Lavinia acetate Mini Hill and Circle masks.

Beautiful Spring scene and what a great idea to contain it within the vertical panel. Hope you have a good Easter weekend.

Eine sehr hübsche Karte. Danke fürs zeigen bei den Kreativtanten. Herzlichst Kirsten💜
A lovely, fresh spring time scene using your beautiful Lavinia stamps- perfect timing as the woods are full of bluebells just now!

Hi Pauline
You always create the most gorgeous little scenes - and I love how this one only takes up a strip of your card front, but still holds lots of detail. Beautiful!
Hope you are having a good Easter break.
Love and hugs

Fantastic scene!! This season I have seen this silhouetted bunnies frequently and I am loving them!! Way to go shopping your stash for our "hippity-hop" theme challenge!! We are so glad you joined the fun and played along with us at Shopping Our Stash!! Deb Horst, DT #SOS545
The card beautifully captures the joy of spring. The vertical ink-blended panel design frames the scene wonderfully, and the combination of Lavinia stamps and soft colors creates a serene atmosphere. The inclusion of bluebells and the bunny adds a whimsical touch to the composition, evoking the gentle beauty of the season.
OH WOW ... what a fabulous scene you have created! Well done! Love the sentiment ... words to live by!! Happy Easter! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

What a great idea for your inked/stencil/stamped section to be mostly contained with a rectangle block!! Having the bunny to the side makes me think of those in our yard that keep back away from the house back door and side door into the garage! They do seem to like staying back and watchful! Great spring season scene! Thanks for sharing with HQCOLCB! -- Becca
P.S. I'm back for FQGS! The plants, animals, fence, hills for a spring day scene is a great creative project for our 'anything farm and/or country goes' theme! Farm-tastic! Thanks! -- Becca
Such a beautiful card, that bunny is so sweet, and I love the greeting!! Wow, this card just screams springtime. I remember spring from my distant past. I'm hoping sometime soon I will experience it again....lol.It seems to be taking its sweet time getting here this year. Lots of wonderful work here, and great take on the challenge. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at Double D, I hope we see you back again soon!

This is such a wonderful scene. Love how it is mostly kept within the blue background with just a few little pieces going outside of it. And of course the adorable bunny is so sweet just off to the side taking it all in. Lovely card.
Such a beautiful spring scene you created with all these wonderful Lavinia stamps! I am really loving the CAS design and inspiring quote! So great to see you at my Garden Party and thanks for joining in at Four Seasons challenge too!
A very sweet Springtime Scene! Thanks for playing along and sharing your sweet card with us at The Paper Funday Challenge!
