CAS Colours & Sketches #233

Hello again!  It’s the fourth Tuesday of the month, which means it’s sketch challenge time again at CAS Colours & Sketches.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve used my floppy-eared bunny stamps, so I decided to pull them out and use one on today’s card.  Being summertime, I felt that ice cream was an appropriate thing to include.  I stamped the bunny on a piece of plain white cardstock, colored him, and then fussy cut him so I could adhere him to a piece of textured cardstock.  The texture is subtle, but it does add a bit of extra visual interest.  Having the bunny’s ears extend past the borders of his background panel was an intentional design choice to balance with the sentiment banner.  I wanted to do a little something different to the ends of the banner, so I used an old corner punch.  The narrowness of the sentiment banner combined with the punch gives the curvy, pointy result.

I chose the pink card base to coordinate with the strawberry ice cream on the bunny’s cone.  Hopefully, this is enough pink to qualify the card for the “Baby Blue or Pretty Pink” challenge at Cards in Envy.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what our challenge participants at CC&S create this week!  Be sure to link your card at the challenge post by 6:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday, July 31.  Thanks for stopping by today!
