Some Bunny Loves You

Hello there,
and Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you are enjoying your special day with family and friends!

It's a new challenge week over at The Ribbon Reel... Debbie is our hostess this week and asks that we create a card or project based on the colors in this photo...

                                                              (Oh my gosh, how cute!!!)
                                                      and also include a bunny and ribbon!

Don't you just love that cluster of yummy embellishments! They are from The Ribbon Reel!  Here is a list: May Arts green silk ribbon
          natural button twine
          cherry blossom flowers in white and pale yellow

I chose a yellow polka dot pattern paper from October Afternoon, Farm Girl. I stitched it to white cardstock from Papertrey Ink. I creted the frame with the same white cardstock and Spellbinders dies.
I added some ivory pearls from Recollections. That adorable bunny and sentiment are from Paper Sweeties, Hippity Hoppity.  I colored him in with some distress markers and Copic markers. I added some flocking to the white parts of the bunnies body to make him fuzzy.

Come stop by The Ribbon Reel Blog and play along!
