Easter- For a Sweet Little Girl

I am so fortunate to be able to be on a design team that has Dearie Dolls as our sponsor and then to be able to create w/their images is definitely icing on the cake!

At Card Crafter's Circle this week we are making Easter cards and i made mine using this cute, cute bunny from Dearie Dolls.  Dearie Dolls prize this week is 3 images for the lucky random winner!


 



Here is the card i made using this cute little bunny called, "Bunny in Carrot Dress"

What i did:
Did you know that if you have a program called Scal2 you can cut your digital images outlines and make them into card bases?  That's what i did for this card.  Basically you ungroup the lines and just cut out the outside line.  You make the card by welding a mirror image to the original.  Pretty neat, huh?  The hard part is matching up the printed image..i was a little off for this one..but next time, i will get it down. :)
I also paper pieced the dress and bow on this image and colored in the carrots and shaded the dress.  I punched a little hole and strung the tag through it and tied it into a bow. I think i might add really doll buttons to the dress as well. :)

Challenges:

Valentine, Friendship card

It is Card Crafter's Circle Challenge #7 and the theme is "Feel Good w/a Friend".  The cat and bird in this image are Friends. :)  The sentiment says, "Friends come in all Shapes and Sizes".

This week our sponsor is Happileigh Stampin' and the prize for this week is all of the digi images you see on the Design Team's cards.  Check it out here.

Here is the card i created using one of the "prize" digital images.

What i did:
I colored and cut out the image.  I paper pieced the rug and colored the strip around the rug and shaded it.  I used this really cute sketch at "I (Heart) 2 stamp"

Challenges:
I (Heart) 2 Stamp- Sketch
