Ok, so you're probably thinking... why on earth has that woman defaced that cute little bunny...?
Well - it's my husband and I's 8th wedding anniversary tomorrow so I wanted to make him a special card. My hubby is a MAD Phantom of the Opera fan (I know... of all the things to be fanatical about...lol!) and I had the idea to draw a phantom mask onto one of the Verve bunnies in tis adorable stamp. I can't draw for toffee but I managed to draw the mask onto the boy bunny's face! I then coloured the mask in with a white signo gel pen and voila! Phantom bunny...!! Of course I had to personalise the girl bunny and what could be more fitting on this crazy card than to label her a rubber stamper (not sure my husband will find this part terribly amusing lol!). So that's my explanation of the weird main image!
As for the card as a whole - I managed to combine 10 of the Dare to Get Dirty challenges (seeing as I'm late in joining in, I wanted to get as many done in one card as possible!!). Here's the list:
Cut it Out (Becca_Stamps) - I used nestabilities for the squares in the background, as well as the circles around the main image.
DP by Me (gbedwright) - I stamped on the Creamy Caramel squares using Creamy Caramel ink and sponged around the edges for my own DP.
Learning your ABCs (Scrapnextras) - I used a mini SU alphabet set to stamp out the word 'HUBBY' then punched each letter out with a 1/4" circle punch.

Paper Tole (blondie090277) - My favourite technique! I stamped the bunnies three times and layered different elements up with dimensionals.
Anything but Average (craftycaro) - This is just slightly smaller than a 6x6" card.
Born to be Wild (PickleTree) - I used rabbits for my touch of 'animal'.
Sew Unexpected (BevMom) - I'm afraid I had to go with the faux variety! I was given a sewing machine by my awesome hubby for my birthday but am a little scared of it and haven't had the time to sit down and work out how it works! I will do in the next few weeks though... promise!
Moved by the Music (debdeb) - Phantom of the Opera of course!
Taken with Texture (DeborahLynneS) - the Creamy Caramel panels were run through the rough diamonds Cuttlebug folder!
Phew...!
I just hope my hubby likes the card...!
TFL!
