Bunny love!

Challenges start on the 1st of the month and are anything goes. but you must include an animal of some sort as the main focus. This is in the broadest sense of the word and can be furry, feather or insect etc.

The main focus of my card is a Conie Fong image, the Bunny Daffodil digi stamp set, coloured with Spectrum Noir pens. I used the same image a couple of years ago Some bunny is thinking of you. 

I also used an 8x8 white card blank; Copper, Yellow and some very old Kanban cream embossed cardstock; John Next Door Plain and Stitch Dot Oval, and Square dies, Leaves die from my stash.

Love is in the air

Hello,
Valentine's Day this month so love is definitely in the air.

Here's my card for the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge for February where the theme is a bit of loving. This month we're very kindly sponsored by the fabulous Ike's Art, and my card is made using the Athena image. As you may know Athena is the Greek goddess of Wisdom, Handicrafts and War  - so unfortunately not of love!

I've tried something I've not done before and made it 2 tone using cream and red - the colour of love - and just spot coloured the image using red.

What I've used

8x8 cream card blank
Lime Tree Berry Red card,
Lime Tree Ivory Cream card
Promarker's Poppy Red for the spot colour
Sizzix hearts die for the small hearts and border
Tonic Will's Hand Love die

I hope you like the card, please leave a comment if you've time.

Also please do join us this month at the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge, and thanks again to Ike's Art for sponsoring us this month.
