First birthday

 Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well.

My card is for our Great, Great Niece, who is one today. She is a little darling I have been told, she lives many hours from us, so although I have nearly daily updates of her from my Niece, whose granddaughter she is, we haven't seen her in "real" life. Little Iris has been spoiled by her sister and brother, which has meant she has only just begin to crawl. 

Anyhow, here is the card, that's what you're here for, not my family ramblings!

I had real trouble putting this together with one thing and another, but eventually this is what was made. I used ready coloured images that I have had for years. (I'm going back and using a lot of older images etc of late and quite enjoying using them all again.) I designed the page using the images in Photoshop, adding digi paper to the 1, then took them all into Silhouette, where I added more images and print and cut the card shape and extra images, to layer. There are 3 layers of each bunny and one in reverse, so I could add it to the back of the hiding bunny. I added glaze to the noses and added a fine line black pen to accentuate the eyes. All sounds so simple, but it took me a day and a half to make.

I added more balloons to the bunny in Photoshop for the insert and print and cut it to shape for the card. the sentiment can be read clearly, just doesn't show well here. 
If you look bottom left, you can just see the reverse bunny.

    I'm afraid I'm still not feeling very social these days, and it's a struggle to do any crafting. However, your kind comment inspired me to come and say hello! :o)

  18. Wow Faith, I love this card for your Great, Great Niece! It is adorable and clever. I love how you have her age number build into the card, making it a shaped card. The peeking bunny is just adorable and I love that it is peeking from both sides! You have colored these bunnies up so beautifully as well. I just love everything about this card and can see why it took so long to make! It was well worth the time though as it will surely brighten a little girls birthday. Hugs, Brenda

  25. What a beautifully personally designed card and so cute too. I love the bunny peeping over the corner, inside and out! That is so lovely that you have regular updates of your Great, Great Niece from your Niece. Time flies and they grow up so quickly, its a great way of keeping track when you are far away.
