TRR #53 - Spring is Here!

Oh the irony! If only it were lol! We are halfway through May, and apart from a few lovely days last week, we are now plunged back into chilly, windy weather. Yuk! I have tried to put my heating back on, but my thermostat keeps going blank, which makes me cold and cross haha!

Anyway, onto this week's new challenge over at The Ribbon Reel Challenge blog. 'Spring is Here' is the theme, and look at this darling picture inspiration from Debbie:


I bet you just went 'Awwww!'  Sooo cute! So using the colours in the picture the challenge is to create using a ribbon and a Bunny...Awwww!

And here's my little bit of cuteness:


I have used a Waltzingmouse Stamp set called Lil' Buddies for the focal image, frame and sentiment. And I love how this turned out.

I made this card for some friends of ours who are expecting their first baby, due in September so I had a while, but thought this bunny theme was perfect for a newborn card.

I used some Stampin' Up! So Saffron and Gumball Green card for the base, and some pretty pattterned Echo Park paper. I stamped the heart frame in Gumball Green, and the bunny in London fog, then cut with Nesties.

I layered lots of different ribbon, lace and pom pom trim all from The Ribbon Reel Shop: Grosgrain Stripe in Celery; Crochet Lace in White; Pom Pom trim in Avalanche; Small Check Gingham in Yellow; Yellow & Green pins from Leaf Pinwheel; the little flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Finally I stamped the sentiment and cut with a Spellbinders banner die, and added a couple of gold gems.

Do stop by the rest of the D.T for some more cuteness!!

Thanks for dropping by,

Pauline

You can never go wrong with gingham and your bunny is gorgeous. The card has a sort of classic look and is elegant but also sweet.
