I had a really good time stamping this morning, mostly because I was looking forward to the tea party and sketch challenges. Worked out great to combine them.
Love the sketch...always have loved the 'cluster' style. I had never used this SU bunny set. I probably bought it because I started to have grandchildren but never once made a card with it. It's a multiple step stamp, which I haven't ever done much with. I played around with different inks until I was happy with the results. The alcohol ink background is from my stash and, as always, no idea how I made it. I think it was gel plate but....don't quote me. Edged the oval with the flirty flamingo. The gold trim on the side is vintage, from my Mom's stash.

The button and vintage trim really make this card. Reminds me of the story of The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams about a rabbit who longs to became real by being loved by it's owner. Great card.

You got a great result with the inks for the bunny. Great shading. The BG is beautiful with all the splashes of color. I never seem to write down what I use either. I would never be able to acheive the same look anyway because I usually don’t remember exactly what I did either. That is the fun of these BGs.
