The image is from Lili of the Valley coloured in using watercolours and then distressed and matted onto some gorgeous patterned papers from My Minds Eye - The Merry Days of Christmas. Added a satin red ribbon behind the image (not sure I like that). As the bunnies were hanging in a stocking - OK that sounds painful and wrong but its late and words are failing me - I wanted to create an embellishment that was dangling too and decided on jingly bells. Now I'm normally quite a patient person but getting string through teeny bell loops pretty much turned the air blue around me, even with a needle it was a ridiculously fiddly job, not to be repeated anytime soon.
I punched a tag and added a sentiment and eyelet and attached them all underneath the bottom layer. Die cut a few Holiday greens and added a few pearls for the holly and some red gems to finish.
I'm unsure about this card, I think I lost interest in it after the string and bells fiasco, who knows it may grow on me over time!

Oooo . . . this is adorable!! Those little bunnies are just so cute and I love the dies you paired with them. The pine branches are fabulous! Thanks for playing with CHNCC2.
ReplyDeleteLovely details with the tag and bells.
ReplyDeleteHi Claire, a beautiful Christmas card, love the layout and the ribbon looks great, the jingly bells look cute hanging on the twine... Have a wonderful week... Megan
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute image and your patience has been rewarded because the embellishments really finish this card nicely and tie in with the hanging bunnies - I'm sure 'no bunnies were harmed' as they say although the words do suggest otherwise!!
