Hi Everyone, the card I have today is for the challenge at QKR. Our challenge is on the 1st and 15th of every month, so you have 2 chances every month to enter the challenge.
My Niece will be 57 in a couple of weeks and I decided to use this wonderful bunny with a gorgeous bow to send her. I am in the middle of wanting cut background shapes for my cards, looking through my dies and files for them, I came across this one from 2015, by my blog friend Shirley, it's supposed to be landscape, but I decided to have it portrait. Off to my digital die cutting machine to print and cut the bunny and sentiment, then to cut the card with cut out flowers.
I coloured the bunny with Distress Inks and water colour pencils adding a "curl" to the fur? (I wish I was a better colourist!) to match the paper, that I have had in my "little" left over bits box, which I added to the card after cutting. I added 3D glaze to her eye, nose and the numbers, that I was able to add in Photoshop. I edged the sentiment with ink. I made up the sentiment, it came to mind with the advertising slogan and the 57! Yep! you know by now, I have strange thinking, putting my cards together!

Happy belated birthday Faith! I hope you had a really lovely evening with your beloved brothers and their wives and your hubby's sister. This is the stuff that makes us human isn't it - we can face all kinds of adversity with those we love around us. The card you posted is just gorgeous and looks like a beautiful sunny day. We've had a few of those lately but I'm really looking forward to a real bit of warmth! Hugs, Vicky x
Beautiful flower border on this great birthday card. Love the pink bunny. xx
A fun card that your niece will surely love, Faith. The little bunny is so sweet.
Beautiful pink and blue colors and the cut file with the bunny makes it so Spring-y. I have to admit, I Googled the sentiment slogan as I'd never heard it before. Definitely a UK slogan, it appears that particular product/brand has been much more popular over there. We've historically always had Boston baked beans, but it was a regional favorite. I grew up very occasionally eating pork and beans, with really the only baked beans served as bbq baked beans with bbq for many years. Nowadays you're more liable to get pinto beans on a bbq plate. The most popular brand here has always been Bush's and they have a gazillion varieties. Down here where I live though, Ranch Style Beans have the clear top spot. It's like bbq beans. I can't ever really remember eating navy beans in a tomato soup-like sauce, so this is truly a UK food but made by an American company. I find that fascinating! So thank you, I learned something new. It's a brilliant sentiment for your card -- we are very familiar with the Heinz 57 slogan for both their ketchup and steak sauce. Hope you are having a good week, xoxo
Great card Faith, I love the bunny and if you hadn’t mentioned it I wouldn’t have recognised my file ! Hoping to post a new freebie this week but haven’t had much mojo since my hols xx
Fun card for your niece and love the take on the Heinz 57 varieties Faith x.
So fun! How cute is that bunny and love the sentiment! That open flower edge goes great with the flowery panel!
A super card Faith, a lovely border and I like how the bunny is holding the Birthday girl's age.

You are just to clever Faith! I love this bunny first off and what do you mean you wish you were a better colorist?!! Your coloring looking amazing! I love how you placed the age in the bunnies paws. Too cute! I also love the flower paper and the flower lacy die cut panel. But it is the sentiment that finishes this card off brilliantly even if I might not understand it. lol Big hugs, Brenda
This is such a cute bunny image, but he appears to have had a bit too much of the spirits by his expression :) What a fun card, and I love how you incorporated the 57 between his paws to make it a special birthday for your niece! NJ!
I apologize that I haven't seen some of your posts. I usually get a notice in my email about them. Anyways, your bunny birthday card is too cute and you always have the greatest sentiments, so fun!!
