A Basket of Bunnies!

Good morning all and hope that your weekend has been going just as you wish! Quite a relaxing one for me - up to now! - but there's a nasty big pile of ironing that is lying in wait for me and I'm going to have to grit my teeth & get on with it. I'd much rather be playing with crafty things but hey ho! And I've still got a poorly cat - she's not really eating now so we've been trying to tempt her with different things, and my daughter and I sit and feed her little bits by hand to encourage her but she's still not eating anywhere near enough :(  The problem is that with the kidney disease, if she doesn't eat & drink enough then it can cause more damage, but it's a Catch22 situation because the kidney disease can affect their appetite and cause stomach acid!  And I've got a podgy dog getting giddy every time we try the cat with tempting tidbits and I can almost hear Tilly shouting "ME, ME, ME - give it to me Mum and I'll eat it!!!!" lol.

Anyway, less of my waffling and on to today's card.  The good news is that there are some fabulous new releases of Digi Stamps over at Whimsy Stamps - do pop over and have a browse! And as part of their Digital DT I'll be helping to showcase some of these fantastic new designs over the next few weeks. Today's card features a cuddly cute and gorgeous stamp from Crissy's Digis called 'Basket of Bunnies' which you can find HERE


Isn't that just the cutest image? I think it would be great for a variety of cards - Easter, new baby, get well, etc.  I've coloured it with promarkers


The spotty backing paper was a freebie with a magazine and the gorgeous soft flowery one is from LOTV Nitwit pads 'Precious Petals'. And I've used the fantastic new 'stitches' stamps from LOTV on the edges! Ooh I can imagine that they're going to come in VERY useful! I love stitching details but can't always be bothered to get the sewing machine out so these make a great alternative for idle crafters lol! Then I've just added a little lace and buttons from stash. 
So quite a simple card, but I was quite pleased with it - mainly because those bunnies are just so darned cute (particularly that one with it's bum in the air and just a fluffy tail showing...!)
So do have a look at the new Whimsy stamps - and there is the new January Whimsy Inspirations magazine online too that is full of great ideas, tutorials, hints and tips! Do take a look! 


Right, I've delayed the inevitable doom for far too long.....  Time to put some music on, plug the iron in and get on with it....!  If I've not disappeared under a pile of white shirts, coathangers and steam I'll be back soon!

  2. Morning Kim. A lovely soft card, so suitable for spring approaching. So sorry Poppy is still unwell. I remember that we went through similar with both of ours as they got older. It is a worry. Enjoy your ironing, my unfavourite task.
