Hello! Today I'm sharing a card I made for my daughter. She is not a fan of the pink, nor am I, but I think this grungy version might be acceptable. She recently acquired a lop eared rabbit named Nugget, who is the sweetest companion for her, and he is the inspiration for this card. Sometimes one of his ears sticks straight up just like this bunny. Both of my cats are afraid of the little guy, although they are at least 3 times his size!
The background was made with Wendy Vecchi Crackle Paste and Tim Holtz Hearts Layering Stencil. I used Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Spray and Ground Espresso Distress ink to color it. Love how easy it is to get all that beautiful chalky color from just 1 or 2 presses of a button.
And what's not to love about this geometric bunny? I cut the bunny from the background panel before I stenciled and inked it. I layered the inked panel over a second panel inked with Antique Linen, then re-inserted the Frayed Burlap inked bunny die cut.
I smudged over the entire panel with Prima's Opal Wax. The shimmer is very difficult to pick up on my I-phone, and I can assure you this is much prettier in real life.
Final details include some script stamping (Entomology) with Distress Archival ink in Black Soot, some old Remnant Rubs, a couple of Small Talk Occasions stickers and lace and pearls from my stash. Thanks so much for visiting today! Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Hugs! Sara Emily

ReplyDeleteNugget sounds adorable, even it if he does scare the cats. They are probably frightened of those teeth! Hope you have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Anne xx

ReplyDeleteAmazing card, Sara Emily! Love the texture!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use the new designs!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful card!!! I'm sure your daughter must love it!!! I noticed at the end of your post - Sara Emily. I must have missed this before or didn't think about it. Do you prefer to be called Sara Emily or just Sara?
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful card Sara! The texture is amazing (love those crackled hearts) and, although I'm not a huge fan of pink either (depending on the shade), the colour is gorgeous!! Your daughter could not fail to love this, it is totally stunning!! Enjoy what's left of your weekend! hugs xx
ReplyDeleteI have to be honest, I have never been a fan of those geo dies, but I think you have just made me change my mind.... This card looks absolutely amazing!! The background is just so lovely with those crackled hearts, and to my eyes the shade of pink is lovely, despite not being a huge pink fan either. The brown tones (and the opal wax) have given it just the perfect vintage shade, specially together with those added bits of lace. Your daughter is going to adore it!!
