DYSU #66 - Friendly Critters

Morning all, today brings us another challenge from DYSU, and this week we would like to see your creations including some..







..Friendly Critters!

So I have a couple of cards today, my first one is a very pink girly card, using the very sweet Bunny Ballerina from Dearie Dolls.



She is coloured with Promarkers, and mounted onto some pretty pink patterned papers from the Trimcraft Birdsong stack.




The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps, stamped into a little PTI Beautiful Bloom, and layered onto a PTI pink mini doily.



I sat Bunny on a pink lacy doily by Cheery Lynn, I love these dies, so pretty and intricate.
I added some glitter to her dress edge, and undeneath the doily for some sparkle.



I added a seam binding bow in baby pink, topped with a little fabric flower and a pearly brad, and a little corsage of paper flowers that I have had in my stash for ages, tied up with a little bit of black baker's twine.


My next card is still girly, but not so pink!

I have used the sweet Hoot Hoot Hooray image and sentiment from Bugaboo Stamps.




I have coloured this fun image with Promarkers, and mounted onto some pretty papers from Trimcraft's Desert Blooms paper stack.



I have used an easel shaped card base from Craftwork cards.



The sentiment was cut using a circle Nestie, and layered onto a fancy tag shape.


Finally I added some gold ribbon, stitching, and some punched flowers topped with gems.
