Waltzingmouse April Blog Party

It's time! Another WM Blog Party is about to begin! The theme this month is New Beginnings--weddings, babies, Spring--there are all sorts of possibilities. I decided on a baby card so I could use one of the images from L'il Buddies. Gosh, I love that set!!

I paper pieced the bunny then lightly colored his face and inside his ears with a Copic. The tail is cut from felt. That is such an easy image to paper piece and I really like the look! The embossing is an argyle pattern to give a quilted appearance. I also use PTI's Half and Half dies a lot. They are great to use with focal points. The sentiment at the top is stamped on a negative piece from the Heart Border die. This card went together so quickly. I knew about the party but then got so busy over the weekend and yesterday that I forgot to do my card until this morning! 
Be sure to visit all the other blogs. There is always lots of wonderful inspiration so you won't want to miss out.

Glad to see you at the Party---ENJOY!

Have a great day,
Sharron
