Bunnies and zebras!

 Hi All  😁 I'm celebrating the return of my mojo with not one but two cards this evening!  I've been mostly CASEing other folks cards this past few weeks so it's nice to have a bit of my own spark for a change! 

This bunny card was inspired by this week's brilliant challenge pic over at Inspired By (I'd love one of those blankets!)   I doodled in some stripes and various marks on the bunnies and added gloss to yer man's specs and glitter to a few of the coloured bits.  I've never thought of doodling on this image before but I think I'd definitely do it again!

(Mama Elephant stamp; Paper Smooches sentiment)

Also for Cut It Up #220 - black and white and a pop of colour (though my next card would also do for it too!)

Some evenings when there's nothing on telly I just get comfy on the sofa and colour away.  This little guy was done during Marcella which really did my head my head in so I was glad to have this to distract me! It makes me so cross that so many of the TV programmes set in Northern Ireland depict us all as total nutters!

Happy St Patrick's Day!  And what a cold cold day it's been, the odd flake or two of snow too.  Though I wasn't worried about going anywhere as we were glued to the Ireland/England rugby!!  I won't rub it in as to who won  :) but I'd say there'll be a few sore heads in the morning with the Grand Slam on top of St Patrick's Day!

I don't know anyone who sends St Patrick's Day cards in Ireland, so next batch for me is Easter.  And I reckon I'll be using my Mama Elephant bunnies for most of them!

For this one I inked up the BG and then fussy cut the bunny layer.  Gorgeous sparkly blue card for my sentiment.  Square dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs

• Stamping Sensations March - forest friends 

For this one I used up some scraps of paper on my table and some of my gold glitter card; I'm not sure if these bunnies work in the circle or not.  Maybe I should have added an extra layer to the frame to make it stand out a bit.  I also added in some score lines to the blue layer to give it a wee bit of interest.  Unfortunately I don't do straight, and the ones at the bottom were waaaay off, so I moved my orange panel lower than I'd intended which left the bottom blue bit with no lines at all.

Bye Bye Bunnies

Ooops, I've accidentally been stamp shopping again ;)  I love this range of the Mama Elephant stamps, I nearly bought the snowmen and then the dogs, but settled on the bunnies!
This card is for a friend in work who's leaving us so I've made it in the company colours of purple and green.
For such a simple stamp it takes a surprising amount of time to colour! I kept missing either blush, or noses or ties!
I popped the little flower and carrot (on the brown bunny) up on foam pads.  Couple of gold stars from stash to finish.

• As You Like It - favourite way to add a sentiment - I prefer to stamp mine as it's easier to get it in the right position, and less scary doing it now that I have my TH stamp platform!

• Crafty Creations #360 - anything goes
