myasperations 3-7-25

      This is my DT card for All Dressed Up Stamps and featured an adorable digi from “New Release Inspiration” Day for artist Wendy Burns' latest creations.  I love this sweet image named, appropriately, “Bunny Hugs” and created a pretty spring background on which the three friends can frolic!
      I’m entering this card into several challenges including Inspiration Station: Photo-Rabbits (My card features two cute little bunnies all ready for Spring!),  Allsorts Challenge: CAS (I tried to make a CAS card… and this is about as close as I could come! (If you follow my blog you’ll know that I usually do lots of fussy-cutting. layering, paper piecing, embellishing, etc. so it was kind of fun to simplify things a bit. I might have to do CAS more often!), The Four Seasons Challenge: Anything Goes Spring (My card features rabbits, daisies and pretty spring colors.)   
 
Supplies: 
·   Digi- All Dressed Up Stamps (Bunny Hugs)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Daisy Patterned paper from a Beccy’s Place digi set (Daisy Elements)

·   Front Sentiment “Hello Spring” Freebie from scrabookandcards.com spring 2018 edition (Available HERE)

·    Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.

       Park Hopping’s March challenge, inspired this card which incorporates a photo of cherry blossoms, similar to those in the challenge mood board, “Marching into Spring.” A touch of romance was added with a sweet digi from a Sweet November Stamps named “Smooches.” An intricate black die cut provides a striking frame for the cards’ front, cherry blossoms are colored and fussy cut to embellish the inside sentiment, and a sprinkling of tiny rhinestones embellish the hair band and ears of the raven haired beauty!
