Hi and welcome to my Blog :-)
This is my Design Team card I made for Fat Cats Card Corner using this adorable little Penny Black "Slapstick" stamp. I've never used one of PB's Slapstick stamps before, but it is great quality and deeply etched rubber just like their wood-mounted stamps (except of course you just use a mounting block to stamp with).
This little bunny reminds me of a Bunnykins mug I had as a child - my late father would heat up some milk for me every night to have in my little mug before I went to bed. The milk HAD to be in THAT mug!!
I thought this image would be perfect for watercolouring and tried to keep the colours pretty and soft. I haven't watercoloured for months so it was nice to get back to my "first love". The butterfly in the top RH corner was punched and then I ran it thru my Cuttlebug using the Textile embossing folder.
I added Kindyglitz to the yellow flowers on the girl's hat and under her chin, as well as the heart and tulip on the bunny.
The teal cardstock side panel was punched with my new favourite punch (which was also part of my DT kit) - Martha Stewart Pinking Scallop edge punch - and the designer paper was put thru my CB again using the Textile folder. This panel was popped up on 1mm mounts (dimensionals).
The main panel is also up on 1mm mounts.
The ribbon was made in 2 separate elements. I tried to tie a bow but this grosgrain ribbon wasn't very well-behaved - it wouldn't sit nicely, so I did a "Faux Bow" in that I just folded the ribbon and sewed the button to the centre.
The pink and teal hearts next to the sentiment are the leftover punchies from using my EK Success Arrows border punch - they look like tiny hearts and are just so cute :-)
Thanks again for stopping by - hope to see you again soon!
