Heart Full of Bunnies

Hi everybody.  Recently hubby and I celebrated our 44th anniversary and I made this card for him.  Not totally a masculine look but I couldn't resist making a card using  a bunny which I recently won which was part of a lovely prize over at The Snippets Playground and being used for the first time, and as a background I used a Sizzix Making Hearts Embossing Folder and a set of Torn Edge Hearts which came from Creative Craft Products over at Craft Stash which is no longer in business.

I decided to use a 6" square card as the base and cut a mat a bit smaller and the background was made by inking part of the negative side of the EF opened flat, spritzing with water before pressing the paper down onto it to get this impression of the heart design.  I dried it with a heat tool and then added the second colour by pressing the pad onto the card...I used Blueprint Sketch first and then added Spun Sugar Distress Inks.  The Spun Sugar is a very soft pink so I didn't water it down for that reason.  I then cut two of the hearts from snippets of white card to make a frame, and then using more snippets of white card I cut two lots of the rabbit die, four in total, so I could double each one up.  I put the card together and before adding the bunnies I coloured them using pencils adding blue stripes and added grey to the ears for the boy, and then a pink cap sleeved top with pink cheeks and inner parts of the ears on the girl, and lead pencil to add emphasis to the eyes on both and some pink for the lips.  This bunny has its head to the side a bit and only has one eye but I did pencil in a second one too.   Hubby and I do sing and each belong to choirs and I thought they do look by the shape of the mouth that they could be having a little sing together..lol.  Am I becoming a little silly in my later years, probably..lol.

That is all from me today and thank you for dropping by and I'll be back soon.
