Addicted to CAS #151

Our host Jaydee has picked a wonderful word for this week's Addicted to CAS.

While doing some purging I found a rub-on with the perfect sentiment to use on my card for this challenge.  I decided on the design but when I went to find the rub-on it had disappeared.  I gave up looking and just printed it with my computer.

I cut a negative heart mask and inked it with Spun Sugar DI.  The bunnies from Mama Elephant are a gift from my friend Michele.  I added a little High Embossing Powder to their tales which wasn't an easy chore.  If you've ever used it you know what I mean.  It's so chunky it doesn't want to stick and you have to heat from underneath or it will blow away.  It does give a great look though.

My team-mates and our guest designer Izzy have some wonderful cards to inspire you.  Please check them out and then make a card for our gallery.  We'd love to see how you interpret the code word.

Twofer #4

The new Twofer challenge is up and it's going to be a fun one because Darnell wants to see pets on our cards.  If you're not familiar with the challenge, you have to use the same stamp on two cards for two different occasions.  Over the years my children have had dogs, cats, birds and the occasional hamster or snake.  I'm cheating a little because while we've never had pet bunnies that's what I'm using on my card.  I just HAD to since getting these darling ones from Gerda Steiner.

The bunnies on both cards were colored with Zigs.  The birthday card includes a balloon (covered with Glossy Accents) and a sentiment from the set with a background made with Distress Inks and a Clarity brush. 

The valentine has the bunny blowing hearts on a die cut panel with a sentiment from PB.

Aren't they just the cutest critters?  I couldn't resist them.

Thanks for dropping by today. 

The Heart Desire s #9

The mood board at The Heart Desires speaks to a lot of what I like: reds, chickens, vintage fabrics, quilts.  There was so much to choose from but it was the bunny that I kept coming back to and this is what I made.

The ME bunny stamp was borrowed from Michele and I knew they'd make a great anniversary card.  I used PTI Tipped Tops to cut my panel embossed in white the sentiment from CB.  I have a number of June anniversaries so I'll be ahead of the game.

I'm so glad you decided to drop by today.  Please come back again.
