Here is a fun bunny that I altered, I bought him last year on the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby for a few dollars. He was painted in ivory with absolutely no life in him, so I had to give him a little crafty spirit that would shout "Hello Spring".

The first thing I did was get my Quick Dry Glue and a box of Tim Holtz Tissue Paper. I tore small pieces of paper and glued them into place. (You can use ModPodge if you perfer) HINT: Remember to spread out in thin coats or it will become lumpy.

Once I knew the glue was good and dry, dry being the most important part, I proceed inking it up with my Tim Holtz Distress Inks along with my blending tool. I inked and inked and inked until I got the colors that I wanted onto the paper. Set it aside and give it time to penetrate the papers or you will be wearing it on your hands.

I gave my bunny a fabulous color made from 2 x 2 squares that I rolled and glued on to the top of a doily that I had inked, cut in half and placed on to the bunny body. I can't take credit for the rolled collar since I just seen a friend make them at a crop we went to together. Thanks Melissa for inspiring my collar. Every altered project should have a bit of metal and ribbon don't you think.

 Here is a closer look at the collar so you can see the great dimension in the layering.

 I fussy cut the flowers from a sheet of Basic Grey Out of Print Collection and the bunnies eye is made from layered metals.

 Here is funny little cotton tail made from and inked a crunched up doily along with more metals, fussy cut flowers and bling

I place him over a window in my studio. You can't see it but the window actually sets on a bench that is on top of a farm table. He looks fabulous along with a bit of my other fun altered projects. Again I hope you will hop on over the very talented and creative Pinky's Much ADo About Nothing Blog.
