Hi everyone!! Happy Saturday!!! I have a Stamps and Smiles card to share with you today!!!A week or two ago, when Stamps and Smiles debuted, my friend and fellow Dirty Dozen Alumni Carole (TruCarMa) commented on one of the bunny cards here on my blog. She said that it reminded her of a Christmas ornament she got the year her oldest son was born! She attached a little picture for me, and the second I saw it, I just knew I had to re-create it in a card for her!!!
Carole is one of the FUNNIEST people I *know*! She always makes me smile and I am so glad we became friends through our stint on the Dirty Dozen together!!
I hope you like this card Carole!!
This card was SOOOOO much fun to make, and I used three different Stamps and Smiles sets to make it! First, I stamped the Mama Bunny from Mama Bunny Loves Me and the little boy bunny from Egg Hunt on Choice White Cardstock (from Taylored Expressions!) in Memento Tuxedo Black, and I colored them both with my Copic Markers.
Using a craft knife, I CAREFULLY cut a slit on either side of Mama Bunny's arms in order to have enough room for her to actually HOLD her little boy bunny!!! Isn't that SO cute!! I was so happy to be able to actually make that work!!!
I paper pieced part of Mama Bunny's dress with some Delicate Dots DSP, which I what I used on the rest of my card!! I added some Bashful Blue striped ribbon and some So Saffron brads to finish off my card! The XOXO sentiment is from Eggstra Special!!

ReplyDeleteJodi, I too think that Carole is full of fun. But there is no laughing about your card - it's beautiful. The bunny reminds me of reading Beatrix Potter books to my daughter eons ago.
