Messy Rabbit in a muddle...

Hmmmmmmmm there is something about Messy Rabbit's face here that either reminds me of Frank Spencer in 'Some mothers do have em' or me trying to do all the things I need to get finished over the next few days.

I love this stamp - sorry I seem to say that such a lot, but stamps are just so addictive. Some people stroke paper - I stroke rubber! Oh my goodness what have I said?

I quite like papers too - especially DCWV ones and I love the red and green pattern on this paper.

I used my Cricut to cut the Christmas sentiment for the final panel on the shutter card. The lights are part of the set that came with Messy. I found some quite thick cord and twined it in a pattern fixing the lights on top to hold it in place and then finally added the sentiment. It was a bit fiddly as the cord kept fighting back, but I got there in the end.

I found this verse somewhere on the internet and thought it was perfect for the theme and the string of lights at the top and bottom of the verse are also from the Messy set of stamps.

Materials used:
  • Messy Rudolf stamp set - Joanna Sheen
  • red and green card from stash
  • patterned paper - DCWV
  • Cricut
Challenges:
Have a fantastic weekend everyone and I really hope your preparations for Christmas are going better than mine - eeeeeeeeeek!
