More playing......

I'm really enjoying just playing !! 

 

As you know I once had nine guinea pig boys and loved them all...well my friend Sue suggested my last design ( see in post below)  would be fun with guinea pigs, so I found a small stamp just right for the job .

 

 Tried a different colour combo for the next one.

Just playing...

Some days I just feel like playing and the last few days I have been making backgrounds with distress inks and getting a bit messy !!

I started on this one just blobbing my round blender tool with different colours at the bottom and then blending just pink at top. On the pink I then splattered water. I've used some stamps from different sets from IndigoBlu and one tree stamp from my stash. With a fine black liner pen I then drew in some detail round my blobs making little hills and adding some grass and flowers. I've used some chunky white embossing powder for the sky stars and the fabulous sentiment is by Woodware.

Bunny hugs

Once I start playing around with bits and pieces I have to make something with it and this is how my card came about.....I had some small bits of pattern paper from another project left and made a square patchwork background using them and then I had a couple of stamped Messy Rabbit images and the card grew from there....

After making my smaller patchwork background I then embossed it with small flowers and distressed all the edges. I then found some bigger squares of matching pattern papers and embossed then with a different pattern. Coloured my bunny with copics to match, made a few rolled roses and cut some leaves using a Sweet Dixie die, then topped it off with a big gingham bow !!
