We have an annual Haiku Bunny Swap over at OSA each year and it gets harder and harder to come up with a different design. All of the cards have been posted to their gallery so I can now share my design for this year.
The image was one from Hero Arts and they discontinued it a few years back but another vendor, Peddlar's Pack, has been the current source of the stamp. It is one of my favorites. I don't know if the rumor is correct, but Hero Arts felt the Haiku portion of the stamp was not legitimate. In any event, the calligraphy is for effect and I would have no way of knowing what it says literally which is often the case with my oriental themed projects. I do art for me and for the effect; however, if I am sending a card to an Asian-American I always let them know the calligraphy is for artistic effect; OR, I make certain it says something appropriate.
For the bunny, I used a Pergamano technique and the background was created with images from Inka Stamps.
