I have just a couple of Christmas cards left to do but they are the ones that are personal. In this case, my son's girlfriend whom I haven't met, but many months ago when my son suggested this one was serious enough for me to send a birthday card, also told me that strawberries and bunnies would be a great theme. So I decided to use the bunny theme for Christmas too!
I wasn't quite sure how to make the card special, then happily Sketch Saturday came out with a fun sketch that I think really made the card unique and special.
The image is from Paper Rose. It must be older because I got the stamp at one online store (that didn't have the die) and the die at a different online store (that didn't have the stamp). Isn't it amazing how far I'll go to not have to fussy cut something!!? Then at one of those stores, I saw the paper and thought the soft colors and patterns would be just right. And the paper happened to have a coordinating flower die! Finally, I had seen the Ink Blot Shop Holiday Times Sentiments and knew the look of them would be just right for this card so into my cart that went. For those of you who are adding up all of these purchases - just stop - I don't want to know - this ended up being a very expensive card!!
A big thank you to Sketch Saturday for the inspiration that made this card special.
