. . . a POP of purple with the Crafty Catz

yes, you read it right, the

I'm thrilled to be Guest Designer for April with the Crafty Catz.

This week the team has shared projects to inspire you to get creative for

Challenge 414 - Anything Goes
optional theme Use Mauve Or Purple
~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the fun Running Bunny digital stamp by Rick St. Dennis, the generous challenge sponsor this week, to create a birthday card.

My card base is 6 1/4" square.


As soon as I saw this fun bunny, I immediately thought of the rabbit in Alice In Wonderland and decided to make a belated birthday card using a verse from "I'm late".
I chose a font for the sentiment then sized it with the image on my Silhouette Cameo design mat. I  printed the image panel on X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.  It is difficult to see but the hollow sections of the sentiment are filled with purple Copic marker colouring too.
I trimmed the image panel down to 5 1/4" square, matted with black cardstock, trimmed down to a 1/16" border using my Perfect Layers Ruler, matted with white cardstock and trimmed down to a 3/16" border with Perfect Layers Ruler, then adhered it to a card base matted with purple cardstock.

I punched out some different sized flowers from purple cardstock, coloured some with the same BV Copic markers used for the rabbit's clothes, adhered a black bling flourish then surrounded it with the flowers.  Lucky last came some scatted star confetti.

NOW it's YOUR turn!

I hope that I have inspired you to get creative
and look forward to seeing your projects fill the gallery for
