My New Bunny!

Hello and thank you for hopping by for a visit.

This is my new Sizzix BigZ die which arrived yesterday.

I was cardmaking up the garden in my cabin and got a phone call from hubby to say it had just been delivered.

So I popped down to the house and went straight back and made this card.  I cut it out with a scrap of white card and a snippet of paper which came free with a magazine a long time ago.  Then I cut off his tail on the paper to reveal a white tail and stuck them together.

I added the small flower stickers as part of my "using up" project although after sticking on the first decided I didn't like it.  When I tried to remove it  the paper underneath tore so I had to add a few more.  I think I may add a piece of cotton wool to his tail.

I would like to enter my card into Darnell's NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff) #7 Challenge and
Pixies Snippets Playground - Week 244

This Bigz die is already in my wishlist, too! :D Your card looks so lovely with the tiny stickers, they matches well with the embossing on the background! And the adorable bunny is a delight with this pretty paper!
I think as you: a cotton wool for tail would be perfect, it will be so tactile! :D
Hugs, have a wonderful Sunday!

Great use of the new die Barb. I like the fact that you made his tail white, and his body a print.

Oh, wow, now they make stitched bunnies?! What did we ever do before fabulous stitched dies?! This card is so adorable, Barb! I love the e/f and little flower embellies and I think popping on a fuzzy wool tail on her is a terrific idea!! Great use of your PP, too!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #7!!

Oh how sweet Barb! Love the bunny (a cottonwool tail would look very sweet I agree). Lovely background as well as the paper you used to die cute the bunny. Now, I'm unsure if this is a stitched cut die or you added the stitching - even with my nose pressed against the screen it's hard to tell! If it's a stitched bunny then it's a new one on me :) Looks great, however it's done!

Hugs

Barb said...

Thanks Di and everybody else for your lovely comments. I forgot to mention that I did add faux stitching. Barbxx

Hi Barb,
what a super card, and I love that super bunny die.
Great embossing and paper piecing also.
Yes I think your right about the cotton wool for the tail.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Hi Barb enjoy your new machine, I got a new sewing machine.....it's still in the box as I daren't get it out!
I love your bunny card, the white tail is cute as it is but a little bit of cotton wool would be great too.

Hugs Erika. x

Now I see what you mean by the faux stitching. THis reminds me of those calico cats and other calico animals that were all the rage when country chic was hot. I think that was a really long time ago now.

You are making me want to buy this bunny, Barb!!!
Love this card, too... and The Bunny. x
