The Bunny Challenge

I very nearly didn't post this card.  It was just about to be tossed into the "meh" pile before I remembered some words of wisdom from a wise stamper named Linda.  She got it from another wise stamper, and I'm paraphrasing, but her advice is to proudly post the card as if it was the Mona Lisa and then continue on to the next card.

So, without further ado here is my Mona Lisa:


The colors are from Color Throwdown and the bunny theme is from CASology.  I'm making is just under the wire for the CASology sketch.  Although I knew the image I wanted to use (love those floppy ears), I couldn't decide on colors.  Then along came the Color Throwdown challenge and I made sure I set aside some time yesterday to make this card - getting it done just in time!


Well, the snow finally stopped (after about 34 hours of non-stop flakes).  I wound up with a few inches over a foot of the not-so-fluffy white stuff and I think I've about had it for snow this winter.  I REALLY hope that this last storm is it for us this season!  Time for spring, I say!  Thanks for stopping by!

I don't know what "meh" means, but how could you possibly think to "toss" this card anywhere but on your website for all of us to see. This image is adorable, and your coloring great.

No! Don't chuck the bunny in the bin Jen! I think it's an absolutely gorgeous card - so it just goes to show that what one crafter doesn't like another one adores (more wise words!)
