Born to Shop for Shoes

It's very unusual for me to publish a card I've made with non Stampin' Up goodies (although the card base is SU Whisper White), but I've published all my other colleagues cards & Rachel's should be no exception. Rachel is a huge fan of Born to Shop & I had some stickers so here's what I came up with, hope she likes it.

Happy Birthday Rachel!

Forest Friends Bunny

Time for another card for a work colleague. It's Caroline's turn, and she loves bunnies, so this cute little character had to come out! I used the masking technique to get the bunny infront of the trees. Talking of trees, I "thumped" them with three colours of green markers, added the brown for the trunk & branches, to get a more natural effect for the leaves.

Supplies:

• Stamps - Forest Friends
• Ink - Creamy Caramel
• Stampin' Write Markers - Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Garden Green & Always Artichoke
• Card - Garden Green, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip
• Accessories - Very Vanilla 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon
• Tools - Scallop Border Punch, Paper Cutter
• Adhesives - Snail & Dimensionals

Happy birthday Caroline!
