Fluffiest Friends for #GDP429 - a colour challenge

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today, I am sharing a super cute square card made with the Fluffiest Friends bundle from our Online Exclusive Collection. I am following the challenge over at the Global Design Project, which this week is based on a colour combination.

My immediate thought was to incorporate a red heart for the Poppy Parade element, and to make a Valentine's card, but after musing about it for a while I decided that this cute bunny holding a cupcake had stolen my heart!

The bunny from the Fluffiest Friends set is stamped in Pebbled Path ink on to Fluid 100 watercolor paper and cropped out using the coordinating dies. I watercoloured the image using my Wink of Stella Glitter Brush by picking up ink that I'd pressed onto a stamp block. By diluting the ink I was able to create a light, pinkish shade using Poppy Parade ink to colour the feet, ears and cupcake icing.

I used the shading details on the stamped image to help me add Pebbled Path ink to colour the cute bunny. For completeness the cupcake wrapper was coloured with Lost Lagoon!

The cute rabbit deserves a cute square card, which then allowed me to add stitched square layers using the Stylish Shapes dies. I have nested Lost Lagoon paper, from the Sale-a-Bration Light and Airy pack on to a Pebbled Path square. This in turn sits on top of the Poppy Parade layer, which is over stamped with flowers from the set, popped up on Dimensionals and wrapped with Lost Lagoon ribbon.

The Wink of Stella really twinkles on the bunny image and the centre of the tone on tone flowers, but I'm not sure that the photo will do it justice! Hopefully the person I'm sending this to will smile when they open it!

Fingers crossed - I'm off to the post box to send it on its way. I hope you are inspired to make and send a card, and maybe to try the colour challenge.
