We all go through droughts of crafty inspiration from time to time, but recently my long work hours\u00a0and then traveling really seemed to sap away all my crafty mojo. But I really wanted to make a card for a lovely friend and mentor who is going through some rough career changes right now.\u00a0So I searched some of my favorite blogs and crafty websites and found some wonderful\u00a0color challenges that helped me push through and create this card tonight.<\/p>\n

I Copic colored\u00a0(E30, E31, E35 and R20 for blush and inside ears) a couple of the sweet bunnies from the Lawn Fawn “Hello Baby” stamp set. I also\u00a0used the simple sentiment, “I look up to you,” from the Lawn Fawn “Mom + Me” stamp set. And what really helped get me going was the phenomenally inspiring and versatile My Favorite Things Blueprints 15 die set that I used with a bunch of spring colored paper scraps from my scrap box. I also used a white shimmery\u00a0heart that I had previously cut out with\u00a0the La La Land Doily Heart die set as a backdrop to set off the bunnies from the busy patterned papers.<\/p>\n

As some\u00a0finishing touches, I added irridescent clear sequins, dotted them with silver Stickles, and sprinkled some Recollections blue shimmer spray ink on the background.<\/p>\n
