I thought I'd play along with the
Lawnscaping Challenge #65 for September with this card that uses a few of my favorite things: Lawn Fawn Winter Snow Bunny, Copics, Top Note die, and herringbone technique.
This is Lawn Fawn's Winter Bunny, and I just love this little guy! I colored him with Copics and added him to a background I made with the
herringbone technique. I used left-over snippets of Christmas dsp, and I find it completely relaxing to create one of these. After putting it together, I cut it with a top note die, and then embossed it with a Sizzix snow globe embossing folder to add more texture. A few square gold brads were added, along with some faux stitching around the edges. The narrow ribbon and gold cording are from my stash. Oh yes, and I added a dab of liquid applique to his tiny tail, let it dry, and then hit it with the heat gun to fluff it up :) A cute bunny's got to have a tail, right? :)
I'm also entering this into the
Snippets Playground #89 since I used all those leftover strips of dsp.
Wishing you sunny skies, and a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

This is fabulous Carol - a perfect Christmas card. I have the same Lawn Fawn stamp safely here as you know :)
ReplyDeletePlease do link into the Playground, the gates open again at midnight UK time - if you're first you might like to dry the swings and slide down 'cos it supposed to rain later on this evening :)
Hugs, Di xx
Cute card, Carol!
ReplyDeleteLots of texture and pretty paper on the top note die. That bunny image is just the cutest ever. Adorable card!
ReplyDeleteAnother great use of this cute bunny!
ReplyDeleteOh, Carol, I love how you pieced together scraps to make that cute herringbone background. I will definitely try that idea sometime.
ReplyDeleteThere's that little guy scooting around on his sled again! Love the herringbone background. Fantastic card.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

I am so going to try this...such a gret way to use up the tiny slim scraps of DP!
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely and his little tail is so adorable!
This is adorable!!! Love your card! Thanks for playing with us at Lawnscaping!
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping back carol...I did finally get some photos downloaded. It was scary cuz I am so computer illiterate and even more so in Windows 8.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I managed to wipe out the pop up window that allows you to chose which images to import, and I was having to import everything every time and then delete the extras...ugh!
I finally figured out how to get it back and so at last I have some photos to post...You might get sick of my trip befor long though! lol
You are a master at that herringbone technique and I like that quite often you also embossing the herringbone. It give it so much texture and really make it pop. That image is just darling and I love that thin ribbon also. Terrific job, Carol. Enjoy your Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, your card is super, cute little image, and I just love your herringbone technique too.
ReplyDeleteYour card is so cute! I really like the background that you created! Thanks for playing along with us at Lawnscaping! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that background you made! It creates such a fun backdrop to the bunny! Amazing job!
