The colours of this card were inspired by a beautiful flower bouquet inspiration picture I saw online. The soft candy colours inspired me to make a baby card, which was perfect because the Baby, We've Grown stamp set is on the retiring list. The design of the card comes from the Just Add Ink challenge #260. I decided to make a long tall card (3-1/4" x 6-1/2"). The bunny image was stamped on watercolor paper with Black StazOn ink and watercolord using reinkers and a blending pen.
By the way, this might be the set of In Colors I'm most sad to see retired to date. The last time I was this sad was the year of Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, Island Indigo and Pool Party, but then four of those five colours made it in our regular collection, so I didn't have to stay sad for long. I've used the current In Colors quite a lot and I'm sad to see them go. Don't forget the cardstock, ink, reinker and matching accessories are only available until stocks run out, so order any extras you might want as soon as possible.

Cindy I love the gorgeous soft yet bright and happy colours you used. It really feels like a celebration - and the sweet little bunny is just what a tiny bub would want to snuggle up too! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
