I hope you all had a great week and have wonderful things planned for the weekend. This weekend is supposed to be 'warm' (somewhere around zero degrees) so I will have to get out and enjoy it before it gets cold next week. Guess it's just that time of the year.... and only 37 days left before Christmas if I can still count! Yikes!! So, I have made another Christmas card, this time using a cute Happy Hoppers stamp. I just love this image to bits.
Recipe:
Image - Happy Hoppers Carrot Tree stamped with black Stazon and coloured with Distress inks (antique linen, frayed burlap, tattered rose, peeled paint, forest moss, walnut stain, rusty hinge)
Sentiment - Stampin' Up from the Bells and Boughs set
Papers - Stampin' Up and My Mind's eye - all the edges were inked with DI frayed burlap
Other - TH tattered pine cone inked with walnut stain, dabbed with white acrylic paint and then dabbed with rock candy stickles; crinkly ribbon; McGill pine branch punch inked with frayed burlap; brown wire dipped in gold embossable ink and embossed with gold tinsel (glittery) powder; creamy coloured berries (from Michael's floral department); light green rhinestones.
This card is for the following challenges:
House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge - getting ready for Christmas
Hanna and Friends - a fantastic sketch
Jingle Bells - Christmas feast (a holiday card which has some sort of food on it). Ok, so carrots are not standard holiday treats, but if you're a rabbit, then they are a must! :o)
Sparkles Monthly Challenge - Christmas is coming

I was just looking for inspiration for the Jingle Belles challenge and came across your card. I absolutely love it! Wonderful non-traditional colors, adorable image, and a perfectly constructed layout. I'm pretty new to card-making, just one year now. I'm not sure how you colored the image...I assumed with copics but you said it was distress inks. Do you use a little dauber of some sort?
So stinking cute! Obviously carrots are a must-have treat for bunnies - and what else would they decorate with? Love the pinecones you've added - the berries and branches make such a wonderful embellishment!
Gorgeous card dawn :-)such a cute image and the papers and embellies are FAB ! I LOVE the pine cones and the whole arrangement is stunning ! :-)
thanks for joining us on the House Mouse and Friends Challenge :-)
