More fun with my cardmaking has been one of my goals for the past couple of years, I love elegant and classic but doing things to bring on the smiles and laughter is so therapeutic. And this card definitely is therapeutic for me today. It's raining here at my house and is predicted to continue for the next few days, so there are lots of puddles being created, but it is much too cold to be outside, so I'm looking at this cute bunny and thinking about how much fun he is having jumping in this glossy puddle! I swap with a fabulous group of cardmakers and once a month we get together to eat (of course) swap our cards out and one lady has a project for everyone to do. I'm doing the project this month and this is the card we are going to make. I am am demonstrating paper piecing and how to use glossy accents. A lot of this I have to do in advance, because of drying time-- but I ordered a glossy accents for each lady to take home for future use! I really do think it will be a hit! Thanks for stopping in, Smiles, Kathy

What a cutie he is and he certainly does make me smile! Love the happy and bright colors as well as the textured hearts in your background! So adorable!!
ReplyDeleteKathy, this wee fellow made me smile - it's supposed to be summer here, but we have had more rain hours than sunshine hours, I am convinced! love the bright background strip you have mounted him against, and the glossy accent puddle is perfect

I hope to get back over there! Thanks for commenting
DeleteLovely to meet you, Kathy! I think you are very thoughtful to give each lady a bottle of GA to take home. They are much more likely to use it and find out how much fun it is to watch it glossify! Your paper-pieced bunny is having an absolute BLAST in those puddles. Raining here today, too. I should put on my red wellies and follow suit! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting and teaching me a new fun word "glossify."

ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with our Challenge at Critter Crazy and good luck!
