Even though this Botanical Butterfly Designer Paper is no longer available since Sale-A-Bration ended, but I’ve had this Monochromatic Fable Friends Bunny Easter Card in my mind for a awhile and I imagine a lot of you have this paper from your Sale-A-Bration order.

Easter is only a week away, so if you are pressed for time to make some cards and get them sent out, you might want to make something easy like this card.

The card base is Highland Heather Cardstock, one of the new colors from the current catalog. This is one of the coordinating colors of the Botanical Butterflies paper and we have a whole sheet of this floral Highland Heather all in one color. It was a paper that I could use with the bunny from the Fable Friends Stamp Set. I just trimmed about a 1 1/4″ strip of the floral paper and a layer of Whisper White and adhered the paper to the Whisper White. I tied a ribbon and bow around the strip with the Whisper White 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon. The bunny is stamped in Highland Heather Ink on the Whisper White as is the greeting in the same stamp set of Fable Friends.

Not one to leave things alone, I risked messing up the whole card by coloring in the bunny’s jacket with a Blender Pen and a tiny bit of Highland Heather Ink. I just touched the Blender Pen to the ink pad, wiped it a little bit on my Grid Paper to make it lighter and then colored in the jacket. I even added a bit of the color to the inside of his ears. I think it helps set off the bunny a little bit.

If you really like to color, I would highly recommend coloring in the bunny with whatever method you like…..but if you want to make a super easy, quick card try this monochromatic method. It also works well on the smaller Notecards & Envelopes.

For a quick card, try making something that you can just stamp in one ink color with maybe a coordinating piece of designer paper or ribbon like this Monochromatic Fable Friends Bunny Easter Card.
