Hello there!
This week's CRAFT challenge theme is: Female
This week's sponsor is Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. You can follow them on Facebook too.
The design I chose is called Bunny Joy. I'm a sucker for bunnies. They are so cute and add a teacup? Perfection.
The theme is female and I chose a pretty in pink color palette and added on a bow to the sweet bunny's head to help signify it is a girl. Hair bow, flowers, hearts, pastels, teacups == female to me! Inside message included with the design= "You fill my cup with joy" which goes great for so many occasions or none at all.
I started off using the print and cut feature in Silhouette Studio to cut the design out with my **Silhouette Cameo. I didn't get a very smooth edge on my first try but I liked how it made the bunny ears look furry so I left it and didn't edit it anymore. I left the white paper around the flower stems because otherwise the stems would disappear. I drew, cut, and colored a little bow so we all know the bunny is female for this week's theme.
I colored the design with my **Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. I glued it to scrapbook paper from my large stack that I cut using a scalloped oval die by Dress My Craft. I colored the inside of the oval with an alcohol marker and also colored the area around the flower stems to hide that white background that I didn't have the Cameo cut out.
Here is a pic of my large stack of scrapbook paper. I have purchased very little of this. I keep inheriting some from people who no longer want to scrapbook. I don't normally scrapbook but rather I make cards. I have a 2024 goal this year to actively use this stack. It's hard to use because of the size of it. The other night I pulled it all out of a box it was in and separated it into to color groups and is now stored in a shelving unit in batches by color. Time and activity will only tell if this is helping.
Back to Bunny Joy --
I heat embossed the background with dark pink embossing powder by Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine with ** Hero Arts Floral Mandala Stamp Set and added some sparkly gems that I bought at Hobby Lobby.
This design is so super cute and versatile as I can use it for Easter, birthdays, Valentine's Day, even a get well card or just because.
