Little Grey Rabbit

The papers I've used for this card come from one of the very first packs of patterned paper I got, years ago, the Craft Asylum "Candy" range. I got a 12" and 6" pad and apart from one uncut large sheet and two small ones,  there's nothing left of it but snippets. In fact every time I get it out to use, I think it will be its final outing before there's nothing left, but it keeps on surprising me. This card is all made from snippets and there are still at least as many left.


The colours are very much "ice cream" colours so I teamed it with a stamp from the House Mouse "Happy Hoppers"  range which I coloured with Promarkers. I die cut it with a stitched oval die and then took the sky and grass colours just to the "stitching" line. I can see now, looking at the photo, that I didn't get the horizon straight. So they're sitting on a gentle hill, right? 

I found the sketch that I used by searching Pinterest for "free card sketches". It appears to have originally come from https://feltmagnet.com/crafts/Free-Card-Making-Sketches where there are 10 great sketches to choose from.

Beautiful colouring Jane. Your comment about the horizon reminds me about a CD Sunday card I made once. It was the Zodiac sign for Aquarius and when I checked it I found that suddenly water from the jug was travelling uphill!
