CRAFT GDT challenge


This is my final week as GDT for the CRAFT challenge, and the theme is make your own embellishments.

Now I have always had a bit of a soft spot for Little Cotton Rabbits, and own Albie and Winifred, and my younger sdaughter adores Winifred particularly, often stamping her up and colouring her in, before sticking her all over her bedroom!!  So I treated her to the full set of Little Cotton Rabbits ... and got Ballerina.  We had a colouring session at the weekend, me, Beth and the wee bunnies - I coloured Ballerina very much to Beth's specifications ... not what I would have chosen!! As the colours really don't match any papers I have, we have gone for WoW for this card - I say we as Beth 'helped' me with the embossing - she does love my CB!!! Having embossed the cardstock, we distressed it and created 'snow' all over my desk ... perphaps more snow than was really necessary!!!!  I cut the roses out of felt using a Marianne Creatible die, rolled them and added flat pearls.  Beth wanted butterflies (???) so she puched some out and we added a pearl to one of them.  Finallt some foliage, ribbon, viva decor pen pearls and some more flat backed pearls, and a LOTV sentiment and we were done.

Whilst Beth is an eager bunny on the colouring and creating front, she is rubbish at tidying, so it took me a while to get myself all straightened out!!
