Tin Tile Rabbit Card

I love this Tin Tile embossing folder from Stampin' Up!
and am pretty happy with the way this card turned out.

I had a few ideas of what I want to make with it when I ordered it,
I knew the first project would be this Easter card.

Adding the "rust" to the "tin" was an experiment.

I've used the cinnamon faux rust technique on black

card stock along with paints to create faux rusty gears. 

It worked great, so I thought I've give it a go

on silver metallic card stock.

I distressed the edges of the Barely Banana card stock

(after running it through the Subtle embossing folder)

then added real stitching. 

The flowers are some tiny paper flowers by 

Prima that my Mom found at a yard sale.
They are in a neat glass bottle that I'll repurpose
into something else when it is empty, one day.

The pink flower has a yellow rhinestone center
glued in place.

I added paper punched leafy branches 

(Martha Stewart) and hand cut wee little leaves.

Pink and white gingham ribbon has been in my

stash for quite some time; I still adore gingham ribbon.

The rabbit (hand cut from a free SVG file
that I printed out) is attached with dimensionals.
The file was resized, changed to white with a "stroke" added
around the edge to create an outline to print out and cut.

Easel card

The scallop circle base is an old precut card from

Stampin' Up! that came with brown envelopes.

I cut my own circular folding card to attach

behind the Baja Breeze scallop circle.
Pink Pirouette is layered between the blue and yellow.

It folds flat for mailing,
but will require extra postage since it is bumpy
and in a large square envelope.

I made my own word art on the computer,
printed it out onto white card stock.
It is layered over Baja Breeze that I
paper punched a scalloped edge on.
I cut chipboard to fit under the word strip
to add some height for the bottom of the card
to catch to stand up.
I also added another strip of the Tin Tile embossed
silver metallic card stock to the bottom.

I meant to stamp some small flowers and leaves
on the base before attaching the word strip.
 I thought they'd look nice filling in the white space
on either side of the round card when it was standing.
Oh well........

Thanks for looking, have a terrific day!
