Take a close peep at this page. Notice anything
special about Mr. Cottontail? He’s joined by three
of his bunny buds, but they’re of the chameleon
variety, blending in to their patterned backgrounds.
Isn’t this a neat technique? To create this tone-
on-tone play, only squeeze your handheld punch
partially to cut just the outer edges of the image.
Or go the digital route and erase a portion of
the electronic cut file before making your cut. No
matter how you slice it, this look is sure to put some
spring in your creative step.
