Bunnies can’t yodel…but they can ski!

At Craft Your Passion the challenge is Let It Snow this week.We have a fabulous sponsor too – Dig’i’s by Phooka.So head on over to check how to play and win.Don’t forget to take a look at DT and GDT inspiration,they’ve done a wonderful job!

I’ve used the totally adorable Skiing Bunny from Digi’s by Phooka and he’s been coloured with Copic Sketch and Ciao Markers.I gave a fluffy look to the trims on his hat with Polar White Flower Soft.As soon as I saw him I knew I had to have a go at making this slider card that I’d seen designed by Sharon Armstrong (of Willow Designs fame) in issue 98 of Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine.The papers are Dovecraft Christmas Fancy and the cardstock is a mix of white pearlescent Kars Christmas Collection and the textured pearlescent blue is from my stash.I’ve added Crystal Glamour Dust to the snowflakes on the paper.The ‘stick’ is a Copic Marker coloured cottonbud stem with the ends snipped off and I’ve added a hand cut flag stamped with Jet Black Archival ink using a sentiment from the freebie stamps set from the same issue.I would’ve like longer stick to create a finishing line with a full banner going between the two but I couldn’t find anything that would fit the bill.Never mind.As for the title of my post I apologise if you’ve never heard of Raving Rabbids and if you have TV Party you’ll know that in one of the minigames  the lederhosen clad bunnies do yodel when they’re shot with a plunger.It was the only thing that sprang to mind.

Here are some challenges this is for :

2 Sisters : Anything Goes

I was lucky enough to get to work with three adorable images.They’re from Animals in Xmas Sock set available at Digi’s By Phooka and I couldn’t resist making a card for each of them.This also means I’m now up to 19 Christmas cards made so far this year!!Yay!All have been coloured with ProMarkers and have had Polar White Flower Soft added to give them fluffy trims to their stockings.Just love this stuff!I’ve kept to the same layout I’ve devised for this year’s cards and have kept to my promise not to use traditional colours for the first time this year.Apart from the fact I bought oodles of these papers and embellishments that I snapped up in the after Christmas sales I think they suit these little darlings perfectly.I’ve mixed it up a little with different embellishments and the placement of them.

The icing on the cake

It’s time for  a sketch at Craft Your Passion this week.We also have Digi’s By Phooka as our sponsor.If ultra cute’s your thing then you really need to check them out!!Please go to our challenge blog fro details on how to play and take a look at the fabulous DT and GDT creations while your there.

Here’s the sketch :

I’ve used the extremely cute Strawberry Cake from the Cakes set  by Digi’s By Phooka.What could be better than a cake with  yummy strawberries?One with a smiley face!I’ve used Promarkers to colour and topped it off with some Frosted Lace Stickles icing.It’s not as sparkly as other Stickles but gives a nice shimmer which my camera has decided to pick up for once.Apart from making good icing I’m pretty sure it’s going to come in handy for snow too.As soon as I saw this image I just knew which paper I was going to use.Originally I was going to use red card and embellishments but came across this lime coloured card in my collection and found the square brads that I’d forgotten I’d bought,whilst rummaging.I’m so glad I did as it gives a great contrast.I was a little stuck as to what to replace the butterflies with on the sketch.I had hoped to find some strawberry buttons but had no luck.Then it hit me….why not use the strawberries from the cake!It only cost me a little card and ink too.That’s what I like!Plus it had the added bonus of embellishments to match perfectly.I gave the stawbs some ‘shine’ with a white gel pen because  I wasn’t patient enough to wait for Glossy Accents to dry and nor did I want to drag my stamping stuff out  to clear emboss – I’d made enough mess as it was!!I think this turned out pretty cute and I hope you do too.

Supplies :
