Messy Rabbit beats the credit crunch...


Yes, Messy Rabbit is trying out the 'Good Life' and is growing his own carrots. Wish I had done that before buying carrots on Christmas Eve and finding they had tripled in price!!
My card is for the new challenge that started this week at http://sketchandstashchallenge.blogspot.com/. This new venture gives a sketch for crafters to follow each fortnight and asks them to use new stash to create their design. My new stash was the stamps used to create the image.
My daughter, Laura, bought me one of the large sets of Messy Rabbit stamps from Joanna Sheen for Christmas and this rabbit and most of the accessories are just part of that set. The butterflies are from a small Studio G collection. As I have used new stamps my card is also perfect for Cynthia's challenge at http://rainbowladyschallengeblog.blogspot.com/.
Materials used:
  • Messy Rabbit stamps
  • Water colour card to stamp on
  • Derwent Inktense and Lyra Aquacolour crayons
  • Blue paper
  • Spring words by DCWV
  • Cuttlebug floral border
  • Gems and organza ribbon from stash
