An Easter card for a young man who likes Peter Rabbit. The Rabbit image is from the retired set Fable Friends. I stamped the rabbit on an oval die cut and coloured the image. I didn't want to mount the rabbit on a second oval layer , so I  rolled the edge of the die cut along the surface of the ink pad until I had a very fine border, just wide enough for it to separate the oval from the background.
 The background was created using a stencil from Lavinia stamps. Again I created the edge on the background panel by dabbing the edge of the card on the surface of the ink pad. This is a great way to give the impression of extra layers without actually adding  the layers. It also means the card weighs less saving you money on postage as well as saving you card.
