This was the Valentine's card I made for my OH.
Rabbits feature a great deal in our lives, we love them and have wild rabbits in the garden who we feed and interact with. Our cards for each other often feature rabbits and they both did yesterday!
I resorted to the silhouette and ink shaded approach I love so much, working on a dye cut heart. I used Lavinia and Inkylicious stamps with Versafine ink and the sentiment is from a Studio G clear set that cost £1! I love this sentiment and use it so much. I used a mix of Paris Trunk, Adirondack dye and Distress Inks for the ink shading.
This was a little challenging to make as I had to make it while my OH was in the same room. Fortunately he rarely takes much notice of my crafty faffing, so I got away with it!, by doing a little more masking of the image while I was working that would normally be necessary!

Adorable image....love the colour too
ReplyDeleteWell done getting round that little problem........ amazing what can be achieved under noses if one has the right bravado! Your placing is delightful & I particularly like your sponging in the heart shape with the detail of the clouds.

ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful card Elaine, and absolutely beautiful composition. I love the colours, as you would probably guess. The rabbits look lovely with those Lavinia stamps, and the sentiment is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI could make a card for my OH right under his nose as well, and frequently do so, as he completely ignores my faffing as well! Judith xx
