I watched the US election last night so didn't get up until midday.
The background was from a recent workshop I did using Pixie powders.
As I didn't like the garish butterfly that was on the card I threw it away when I got home and retrieved the green background.
The bunny was diecut with a piece of balsa wood which previously held a macaroni cheese ready meal.
When I cut him out his ears turned up because of the shape of the box so I had to soak him with water to flatten the ears before stamping him with the old French Script, Then I shaded round the edge with distress ink. He's a Sizzix Bigz die.
His eye is Ranger black enamel and the bow was diecut from a piece of paper from my box of snippets.
I'm off to join in at Pixies Snippets Playground - Week 254 and also

I like your upcycling and the stamping over the bunny is a great look.
Lovely card, Barb. The bunny is a real cutie and looks great on your fab background. I didn't stay up for the US election so imagine my shock on waking this morning - what a result! Elizabeth xx
Great card Barb. Love your bunny. I am listening to the news on the TV today. Time will tell about the result.

A very sweet card, love how you have recycled the packaging too.

A great bit of upcycling here and no doubt you enjoyed the macaroni cheese as well, not that I've ever come across any meals packed in balsa wood so will have to keep an eye out for some. The pixie powders are great fun and I've recently started playing with some of the colours.
Love your gorgeus Bunny card Barb...I'm just pleased its all over
Anne
What a great piece of upcycling - I've never seen a ready meal packed in balsa but I'd buy it just for the packaging after seeing this

Love this Barb. Love the beautiful background and the script stamped bunny. Well done.
Hugs Veerle x
Hehehe! It does have a thick paper lining! xx
It's a Charlie Bingham with lots of croutons and pieces of speck on top. Always my choice when hubby's out for the day although it is meant to be a meal for two!!!
What a creative and imaginative person you are, Barb! Your bunny is outstanding and he is showcased and framed brilliantly against your Pixie background! Enjoy your day!! Hugs, Darnell
He's brilliant! I love how you've recycled something and to stamp the script on top is a great idea. I like your Pixie Powder background - I'm still playing with Pixie Powders I like what I've made but not really used them on a project yet!
Ooh this is fab! I love the bunny and recycled too, how cool! Lovely background. xxx
Lovely card, and quite unique
Hi Barb and what a result for America, I woke startled to the result this morning convinced Hillary would get in.
Loving your bunny, the script works so very well as does the distressed edging.
Hugs Erika. x

I adore this Barb - he's a brilliant bunny and I love the background too! Hugs rachel x
Amazing background with that green and such a clever idea using the balsa wood with the stamped french script and the distressed edges! So striking! Adorable card!

Hugs,Sylvia x
This is so sweet Barb, love him. Angela x
Hi Barb, lovely card, I do love the bunny and such a fabulous colour and background.
Shocked by the result, as is the world, interesting times ahead, Kate x
Awesome card! I love that you made such a happy spring card. I'm ready for warmer weather already! :-) Mr. Bunny is very lovely.
He he, you are so inventive. The bunny looks great with the script stamped on. Some bunny will love it. (You are not the only one who rips cards apart and re-uses bits!)
Hi Barb
A great card .. .. love that the bunny is a recycled wooden carton. I think the only thing we get as wood packaging is the smelly round cheese that we put in the oven. I somehow doubt that would ever smell nice enough to use LOL!!
I love the little bow you have added to the bunny.
In response to your comment .. .. I don't think Mr Heart will be retiring just yet ... ... and we are planning that he will do it gradually. Reducing by a day a week. Well that's the plan at the moment.
Hope you are having a good week.
Love Jules xx
What a lovely card Barb. Love the bunny so cute.
Lilian
Such a sweet bunny, I really like how used the script stamp on it. I'm glad you gave him a new life.
The card turned out adorable.
Ho clever Barb - that bunny is fabulous! And I did chortle about the balsa wood as I immediately 'twigged' it was most likely a Charlie Bingham product! Not one I've tried - yet. But we do love his Chicken and Mushroom pies in the white ceramic dishes. Of course, now we have enough of those dishes to prepare and freeze a batch of fruit crumbles - and still have a load spare in the cupboard!
Hugs

This is so charming, the bunny is fabulous and charming background!
I love bunnies & yours is beautiful! The text is wonderful!
Must try them. I could do with some white ceramic dishes too! xx
Lovely creation and love the fabulous style and design.xx{aNNie}
What a clever use of this piece of packaging and this large bunny is really eyecatching against that pretty green background Barb. A great card! x
Adorable! Enjoyed reading the creation story of this cute bunny. Lucky you to have a workshop with the Pixie powders, which must be similar to the Brusho & Colorburst products (recently saw a video demo-ing the PPowders!) Love that background, and I love how you redesigned using this nifty balsa wood bunny. Good idea to add the text on his little self. Well done! TFS & Hugs
Oooo what an absolutely adorably cute Bunny, Luv Sam x
Brilliant card and great recycling too! Thank you for sharing it with us at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge
Anne DT
Wow! He is gorgeous Barb! Hard to imagine him starting off life as a ready meal box :-) I wish I had stayed up to watch the election, because I woke up every hour instead, checking my phone!! Hugs xx
Awesome bunny! Brillant!
Hugs, Lisa
Love, love, love this! x
