Guest Design for T.I.O.T.


 Good morning,  back in January one of my cards was chosen as a Top 5 pick at TIOT, I was delighted to be  invited to Guest Design for them, thank you ladies. 

The theme for the challenge, which starts today is

 Rainbow Colours.

I recently succumbed to temptation and treated myself to a new stamp set from Colorado Crafts- no way could I resist these cute bunnies! They bring to mind Morecombe & Wise as they skip  offstage singing 'Bring me Sunshine'' which inspired this card. 

I blended Distress Inks in rainbow colours onto a panel of white card cut slightly larger than the  diecut sunrays. Bunnies were stamped, coloured with markers and fussy cut, then popped on top of the die cut.  I  finished with a  sentiment from the same stamp set.

Sending you all some sunshine wishes

Chris

A super way to reflect the theme Chris and I can see the appeal of those Bunnies, aren't they just so sweet hand in hand, can see lots of uses for them.

Your card is a burst of joy with those adorable bunnies and vibrant rainbow colors! The blending of Distress Inks creates a beautiful backdrop for the playful scene, and the sentiment ties everything together perfectly. It's clear that your creativity shines as brightly as the sunshine you've brought to this card!
