Bunny’s in the garden book
When I saw the set ‘Can ya’ dig it?’ from My favorite things I immediately wanted to make a book. My original idea for the ATC’s I created for the swap was to do mini books, but I quickly realized 10 mini books are NOT what I wanted to slave over. So I decided to make a book for me, just one. The guest designer challenge happens to be to create something with a focus on animals, so I thought this kind of worked perfectly for it!
I used Cosmo Cricket’s wanted paper for the front and back covers, and the pages are strathmore watercolor paper. The book is 5×5 in size, and I used my cropadile to punch the holes and 5/8 vanilla GG ribbon to bind it. I had wanted to use my bind it all, but decided that would look to hard and the ribbons would be a softer touch.
On the first page the bunny’s are peeking out of their home under the bush to make sure Mrs. Gardener is busy with her plants, it’s all clear!
They make their way into the garden and find veggies!
They keep searching and finally hit the motherload……..carrots!
They safely take their carrots home to the flower bush, with Mrs. Gardener no where in sight.
I wanted to watercolor this because I like the soft dreamy look it gives. Some of my favorite childrens books to read to my girls are watercolor and I wanted to recreate that feeling with this book.
I hope you enjoyed my little bunny book! I absolutely LOVE it and I might sleep with it under my pillow tonight~
