This is for Lisa's WT challenge this week ~ WT522 Lucky Charms.
I had to think quite a while about this, it appears I don't nowadays really have any. But as I thought, I remembered my mother teaching us that it was lucky to say "Rabbits, rabbits, rabbits" on the first day of the month, as the first thing you said, and white rabbits were extra luck. So I've brought three white rabbits. Looking back, for a very rational, practical person my mother seems to have had quite a few superstitions; if we spilled salt we were meant to throw a pinch over our left shoulder.
As usual, when it works out that I can ;-), I've combined it with this week's challenge to the CCEE Stampers, to use green.
I used some leftover Bokeh background created for a recent inspiration challenge, (tutorial HERE) and thought the big soft white circles would work well with a dandelion image, so I pulled out Penny Black's Quite Dandy, and stamped it in Versafine Black.
For my image panel I took a scrap that had been stamped to make a pocket and stamped three of the bunnies on it and on a scrap of white card for piecing. I sponged in the grass. Black card base, and to finish it off I added two strips of Mizuhiki cord running across and lined up with the grass in the image panel.
Bokeh background left from an IC card. Stamped PB Quite Dandy in black. DeNamin bunnies stamped and fussy cut, then placed on oval (stamped with Canvas?? gesso), scalloped oval is pierced. Added SU Hello and some Mizuhiki cord.

And what a sweet trio of white bunnies they are, Sabrina! It's funny all the things that you don't think about that are superstitious. Like walking under a ladder, the number 13, black cats crossing your path...but I can honestly say I've never heard the rabbit thing, lol.

A great challenge today, and I was able to use my CCEE card today too.

OMGosh! That is so funny! Jordan's other grandpa (who is English) used to call Jordan every first of the month and try to beat him at saying "white rabbits" (this was when Jordan was a lot younger!) I didn't know it was a universal Great Britain thing! Ha! I love your card, it is so cute with those little bunnies and at first I thought you were going to say a rabbits foot since that seems to be some sort of lucky charm. I love your background too! I have to do that one, it is so dreamy looking!
