Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see Romance.
Who has trouble making a Romance card? Me! I actually made 7, and they all ended up in the bin. I had this vision of a rabbit amongst leaves and flowers, so I stamped and cut a mask, took the mask off after stamping and it was a mess! I redid it, nope another in the bin.
Then I tried again, forgetting what was in my mind, turned out OK, then I dropped ink on the rabbit! Another in the bin, I tried again. I made a mess of fussy cutting.
I decided maybe it was the rabbit stamp that didn't want to be used. Next a different rabbit was stamped and die cut 3 times, all failures. I was on the point of giving up again, I decided to try one more time, then it turned out OK. I could carry on.
I stamped and die cut the sentiment, dragging the ink to colour the hearts. Then a heart was die cut, and although I wanted CAS, I felt it needed more, so I die cut a flower stem and left it white. All put together and attached to the card with 3D pads, then a small pompom was added, well, I had to. Whew, 4 hours later!
I had planned to do so much more, such as comments to catch up on, more DT cards. Oh! Well, here's the card.
bunny, sentiment and hearts - Uniko Stamps
die cut heart - Sissix
ink - Distress Inks, hickory smoke, candied apple
red card - Jellybean
flower stem die - Craft Making Magic
Don't forget, we will now require At least one stamped element on entries. Those of you like us, who love to stamp, we would still love you to enter your fully stamped entry.

A lovely card Faith after all your failed attempts! Sometimes what we see in our heads just doesn’t translate into real cards!
Gorgeous romantic card Faith. I love the addition of a bit of texture with the die cut flower behind the heart. I’m a bit like you .. very often I have multiple goes at something before I’m satisfied, I’m sure we should be less hard on ourselves xx❤️

I love a CAS design so for me, this is beautiful, love the little cute bunny, so sweet. xx
Beautiful card Faith and worth the effort-trouble is when you visualise something it never turns out how you want!Love the little rabbit and die-cut stems.

Sorry it took so many tries, but the end result here is a really cute card! Who wouldn't love that cute little bunny on the big red heart!
I am so sorry that my theme caused you such trouble. I know how infuriating it can be when nothing comes together. I am glad you persevered because your finished card looks great xx
I rarely have a clear image in my mind when I begin a card, only a vague feel and some details, so I follow the events (and rarely put something in the bin, as I change my mind and search a way to recycle the failed thing in another way!:D)
This works only for me, I suppose! LOL :D
However your card came out so pretty after all the troubles!! That bunny is so cute and love the extra dimension you given with the white flowers!
Such a sweet hare leaping across the pretty red heart, and love the white die cut flower stem in the background and a lovely sentiment too Faith. x
You got there in the end Faith with these glorious design. It's so sweet.
Haha, we all have days like that Faith! Your card turned out perfectly in the end though and is beautiful and quirky. Just love that leaping rabbit! Vicky x
Your card is beautiful Faith, well worth persevering until you were happy with the result. I’m glad that I’m not the only one who has days like this.

Such a pretty card. .... well done on persevering
Very nice card!!!
OMGoodness, I love this! Cutest bunny ever!
Faith, I stopped by to thank you for stopping by my blog so often to leave sweet comments. I really appreciate them. I didn't realize that I'd find a kindred spirit when I read your post. I've had similar bad mojo card making days... so your sharing made me grimace, moan, and finally chuckle as you described all of the tough breaks that you encountered while trying to be creative. So many of us feel your pain because we've done the same. But I commend you for not giving up. Your finished card is wonderful! Thanks again for your kind words on my post. I look forward to seeing you stop by! Kathy A aka myasperations
Beautiful
It was all worth it in the end Faith, your card is Beautiful! We all have days like that, you are never alone there x
hugs Michelle x
I'm sorry that you had such a hard time creating your card, Faith! We definitely all have those kinds of days, but I'm glad that you carried on because the resulting card is just so darn sweet!
It was definitely worth all the time you spent on this - it's a beautiful card.
Thanks for having me as a Guest Designer this month.

Very cute card Faith. Wow, I admire your perseverance! Turned out great though. Xxx
Such a cute card with the bunny and hearts! The die cut flowers are beautiful! Happy to see you had patience to get to the beautiful end result for it was worth it!
Awe I love this sweet card. It reminds me of my grandma. She used to love bunnies and she would have really loved this card. Thank you for the sweet memory.
The crazy world of crafting lol. It did come out beautifully in the end though!
Your flowers are all so stunning, Faith. I mean the real ones and the stamped ones. They're all beautiful. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Of course, I'm always happy if you should choose to share your cards with us at Word Art Wednesday when you can. That is always a treat. I hope you will come play along.

I was also wondering if I could get your mailing address to send you the daffodil Easter card.
Have a blessed week,
Karen
You have described my card making days perfectly I usually have several attempts before I'm happy with my card and at least three end up in the bin. I'ts so frustrating but it's part of the game you did a great job not giving up as the result is perfect and beautifully CAS.
