Bunny Love

Here’s my card for this week’s sketch from CAS(e) this Sketch. I combined the sketch with the current Lawnscaping challenge to add texture to your design and the current CASology cue word "bunny" to come up with this sweet, spring themed card.

I can’t resist a cute bunny image and I just love the little one in Lawn Fawn’s My Silly Valentine set. Even though this set is designed as a Valentine's Day one, I use it year round!  I colored the bunny up in shades of gray using my Spectrum Noir markers and added a little bit of white flock (texture #1) to make a cottontail.

I made a little scene to set the bunny on, using an embossed blue panel (texture #2) with a strip of die cut green felt (texture #3) grass  across it. To transition from the embossed area and the felt strip, I added a contrasting strip of rose cardstock just underneath the felt, matching the color of the heart on the bunny's side. I wrapped a piece of green baker’s twine around the felt strip and secured it with a bow.

The set’s “some bunny loves you” sentiment is stamped at the bottom of the card. Originally, I set the finished panel on a pale pink card base, but it didn’t look right to me, so I ended up switching out the pink for the celery you see here. Much better!
