With Valentines on our minds, it was no surprise that the gals at Color Hues knew just the colors we'd be reaching for!
There are so many shades of Red and Pink to choose from, right? For mine, I chose to water color with Distress festive berries, and worn lipstick today. My CCC Birthday Wish bunny wanted to join the fun...
My bunny [an homage to my very favorite pink bunny of my childhood] was stamped on Canson cold press watercolor paper, in Versa Claire grey ink, and very simply water colored, then cut with the coordinating die. My card base and cover panel were created with MFT Whip Cream cardstock. The word BABE was die cut using my newest alpha set from Altenew: Linear Pathway - Outline. Color was added from the back with a strip of watercolor card that I painted with the same Festive Berries as her balloon. The stenciling just added a bit of interest to a very wide open panel - a very old layering set from Tim Holtz at StampersAnonymous, blended with worn lipstick.
Add a few enamel hearts [altenew] and done!

Oh so cute! Love the alphas.
ReplyDeletemmmm loving the BABE sentiment, it's swoonworthy as your little bunny agrees!
ReplyDeleteOh this is adorable! And I've been eyeing up that alpha die for a few months now, but keep talking myself out of it. Maybe you've just talked me into it :)
ReplyDeleteWell this is just ADORABLE and I love the happy colors you've used!! When I see a pink bunny, I think of the strawberry Nestle mix that our Joey liked when he was a little guy. He called it bunny milk!
ReplyDeleteOh sweet bunny you are too cute for words! I had two pet white bunnies as a kid - Fluffy and Snowball - but I digress.....love those new letters!
ReplyDeleteSweetest card on the planet! Love it
ReplyDeleteWell babe this is sheer perfection and so beautiful!

Such a sweet and loving card, Michele! You've got such a great eye for design. :)
ReplyDeleteWell isn't this just the sweetest Valentine card?!! I love how soft this card is Michele. The soft stenciling, the soft fluffy bunny and then the bolder color of Festive Berries is just beautiful. Those die letters are so cool too. I love, love, love this card! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteLove that sweet pink bunny with her red balloon and soft stenciled background, Michele! The little enamel hearts and die cut BABE add to the fun!
ReplyDeleteI am just head over heels in LOVE with this card Michele! You know I ADORE that bunny anyway, and he (she?) looks FABULOUS in pink!! Loving the softly stenciled background and your new alphabet dies too! This whole card is absolute perfection!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteI. LOVE. THIS. That is all.
ReplyDeleteI love this one, the bold red looks so good behind the lettering and on the balloons and the stencilled background is just perfect. Well done again for producing the most perfect CAS card. Love those letters too xx
ReplyDeleteI love this so much! I had three attempts before getting something I liked and you made it seem so effortless. Me overthinks, me thinks. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo so adorable!!! Love this, Michele - the sweet bunny of course, but the fabulous alpha dies! Wow, great design
ReplyDeleteThere's so much to love about this card: the adorable pink bunny, the subtle stenciled background, and that fabulous sentiment! Haven't see that alpha die before, and I love the way it works. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteWINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER! Saw this on IG last night and, after I picked myself up off the floor, just stared at it for a very long time. Missed half of the news...which was no problem...same old, same old. Anyway, putting together the adorable bunny with that awesome sentiment is GENIUS!
ReplyDeleteThat hunny bunny is so darn cute, Michele, and the soft stenciling in the background is just the right touch.
ReplyDeleteThese Anita Jeram stamps are very popular at the moment and I can see why, this cutie is so sweet. The soft stenciling is just perfect and the fab die cut BABE really pops. A fab interpretation of the colours at Color Hues! :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Now I'm taking another look at CCC. Love the letters, too, and just everything about this card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet bunny card, Michele! The various shades of pink are so pretty! I love the linear pathway outline die-cut sentiment. The die set will be on my wish list.
