Somebunny loves you

From the Heart Stamps Weekly Challenge is back!  We are all so elated that Faith is on the mends and back to warming our hearts with her talents.  Kudos to the design team for all their support and inspiration!

I chose to use the free sweet set Bunny Love.  I followed the sketch (see below).  The February Challenge #161 with a twist: sketch and/or birthday cake.

Copics, print and cut using my Cameo, a Sizzix scribble die I fell in love with after seeing Lola's card, some circle punches and I call it done.  I hope my little grandson will like it.

Guess who misses you!

I've been sick and not knowing what I had, I didn't want to take the chance of giving it to my 16 month old grand daughter. Next, I caught a cold which I'm almost over, but it has caused me not to be able to see the grand baby for weeks!  She won't understand the message (her mom and dad will) but she will love the bunnies peeking through the little frames.

I'm using a part of Easter Trio (March Stamp of the Month) for From the Heart March Challenge.  I received the set free for participating in February's challenge.  I had 4 images I was going to use and one disappeared before my eyes...no lie!!!

March Stamp of the Month

I'm all ears!

Rainy day yesterday, so a great day to make some cards.  I got on a roll with a simple background technique I saw on my friend Donna's blog post.  What a fun change.   When you cut, you automatically have the materials for 2 cards.  So you will see several over the next few weeks.

I was a winner at QKR Stampede challenge this past week.  Yippee!  QKR's Challenge #131 this week is Think Spring.  I think a bunny with flowers on her hat and in the background paper says "Spring". I used #11407 Hello Bunny digi.

A2, copics for coloring, PSE for dress, Wink of Stella on flowers, sentiment in Pages, pop-ups under circle for dimension

angle view to show dimension, circle punch and Studio to cut shadow circle

PS  Do any of yal remember "Minnie Pearl" who was on the Grand Ole Opry"?  She always wore a hat and always left the tag on (to be seen on purpose).  The reason behind that?  She said she grew up very poor and to buy something NEW was a very rare treat. She felt having something new was a sign of having money.  This was especially true during the "Depression of the 30's".  Anyhow, by leaving the tag on her hat, she was stating that she was wealthy because she just bought a new hat....haha

Smile...

Inside:  Spring is here!

Love the Mini Bunny Blocks Set from Bugaboo Stamps.  I'm entering my card in their SSS #305 Sketch.  I colored in PSE.  The "Smile" is from Woodware Stamps.  I colored and used my patterns from Silhouette Design Studio.

A2, CAS, used pop-ups for dimension

Angle view to show how I printed out the outline of "smile" then added the pieces on top

Bunny Blocks Monochromatic UPDATE (3 buttons)

........Ok, I had to change up the Bunny Blocks for the monochromatic challenge at Catch the Bug.  These little bunnies are from Bugaboo Stamps.  Grey is a neutral and usually allowed, just like skin color.  Anyhow, I put these on a smaller card so I decided just to use 3 bunnies.  I used fiber from my winning stash from Cafexpressions, stitching, punches....others listed below card.
       I liked my simple sentiment ... I can use anytime during the Spring and Summer months.

UPDATE: (Had to add 3 buttons for challenge...see last picture)

A2, copic markers, rhinestones, fibers, punches, AC paper

UPDATE:  Added 3 buttons

Challenges:

Catch the Bug: monochromatic

Bunny blocks

       I always have a little trouble with layouts using blocks.  There's usually not much room left to add embellishments.  In this case I had the blocks straight and centered, then I dropped some by mistake and decided I like them better skewed as when they fell.....go figure!  My inspiration came from Rae Ann at Bugaboo Stamps, Catch The Bug. The Bunny Blocks came from Bugaboo Stamps. Right now, I don't have a challenge to add them, but if Catch the Bug has a new challenge on Saturday that will qualify it, then I'm jumping on it....haha  ( PS I forgot to color the noses, so I went back after taking the pic and fixed them, but I left two other cards without the colored noses...sorta liked that too.  The background was done in PSE).
