Techniques: The bunny image was originally printed at 4.5" tall, larger than the finished size, on X-Press It Blending Card. A "Photo" ink cartridge was used in an inkjet printer. The image was colored with the Copic markers listed above. The light source is in the upper left. The six leaves were all colored the same initially, then T1 Toner Gray was applied to the large middle leaf and the far right leaf to make them recede in the shadows.
The colored image was scanned, reduced, and printed on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White for multiple cards. Since the colors of the printed copies were not as bright and vibrant as the original, the copies were touched up by applying a few pale markers directly to them. This was quick and easy to do, and it made a big difference in the color quality. Eight white shapes made with the Fleur de Lis dies were arranged behind the Labels One layers to form the lacy borders. Working on graph paper helped to align those shapes and keep them straight during assembly.
