A sweet rabbit and some Candy!

Hello Everyone! Jane here today and I am sharing a card I made with the adorable Little Cotton Rabbits 'Albie' stamp. I have coloured him in with my Promarkers and have given him a little pink jumper to match these gorgeous Tilda papers.

I layered the papers on to kraft card and added some stitching around the edges before adding the layers to the card after I had wrapped them with some gorgeous velvet ribbon. I added lots of pretty flowers and some stick on pearls and a sentiment I stamped onto kraft.

Here is a close up of my image, Albie is a boy rabbit but I think he looks really cute in pink. I cut him out leaving a small border and then popped him on to my card with foam pads. I finished with some little stick on pearls. It was a nice change to make something other than a Christmas card too!
