A Grateful Bunny

     Creatures of all sorts and sizes are grateful for food and love and comfort.  They may not all celebrate it with a Thanksgiving feast but I thought this delightful bunny image from Kinda Cute could easily be turned into a gratitude/Thanksgiving card with the use of autumn colors and a proper sentiment.  :-D

     I colored the image with ProMarkers and then cut it with a Cuts die.  I used a large scrap of kraft CS for the card front, and layered on a scrap piece of dp which had been cut with a lattice die from Tonic Studio.  I found a strip of olive green burlap, pulled a few threads from the sides, and put it on top of the lattice piece.  Everything was put on angles for a bit of visual interest.

     I inked the edge of the image and used the threads of burlap to tie the bow, then added the image to everything else.

The Lioness

      This is my third post this morning, but then, it's the first of the month when so many challenges begin.  You can scroll down if you want to see my two earlier posts.  This post features a card for Your Scrapbook Place.  We are sponsored this month by Fabrika Fantasy and I used a beautiful image called "Lioness" which they graciously provided.

     I used my ProMarkers and water color paints to color the image, then cut it with a Spellbinders rectangle die.  The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die.  I inked the edges of all the pieces with an onyx ink pad.

The card base is kraft CS, and the dp piece is heat embossed with clear, glittery EP.  I made a twine bow wrapped with fabric and attached it to the upper corner.  I'm going to use it for a Thanksgiving card for one of my grandkids.  The beautiful autumn colors seemed to lend themselves to Thanksgiving.  :-D

I used colors from the inspiration board at My Favorite Things.
