Bunny Thanks for LOTV

Hello lovely peeps

Woo hoo! It's launch day at Lili of the Valley, with lots of new trios and also some animal stamps being released. I've made a card with one of the three images in the new Easter Trio.

First I dragged the bunny into CraftArtist and enlarged it to fit a 6"x6" card.

The bunny is then digitally 'paper pieced' - I dragged on a material from the 'Steampunk Emporium' digikit and used the eraser tool to remove everything around the bunny

Next I dragged on a paper from the Cherry Blossoms collection at Nitwit and punched a large hole in the centre to fit the circle surrounding the bunny.  I also used the eraser tool again to remove the bits that overlapped the flowers around the edge.

I printed this off onto some smooth card and ran my scissors around the edges to roughen them up.

The small flower was coloured in with Promarkers/Graph'Its (Budding Rose, Rose Pink, 8115, 8120) and I coloured bunny's nose with Khaki and Burnt Umber.

The bottom of the circle and the daffs were coloured with some shimmer chalks and I added Glamour Dust glitter for a little bit of sparkle. The 'Thanks' ribbon is from my stash.

Easter Trio for LOTV

Hello lovely peeps

A bit early I know, but this is 'Easter Trio' - one of the gorgeous new stamps being launched by Lili of the Valley at the end of February. They will be available in rubber or digi versions.

I've used the digi versions, which I printed at 50% onto Joanna Sheen's Elegance Satin paper, and coloured them in with Promarkers/Graph'Its.

I cut them out leaving a little border and layered them onto lacey circle die cuts
The papers are by Nitwit and the sentiment is from the Simply Sophisticated set by LOTV

 I would like to enter this in the following challenges:- 

 Simon Says Stamp (Wed) Cute
Creative Corner Perfectly pink
Stamping Sensations Animal magic

As You Like It Challenge Favourite Ribbon or Lace and why - ribbon is definitely my favourite, I think I'm drawn to the colours and I especially love the delicate look of organza. Here's a piccie of my ribbon collection - the small white box contains my lace ;o)
