Inspiration: Lawn Fawnatics #174
I took part in the Create With Us class from Lawn Fawn, albeit after the live event. To make my life simpler, I stamped all of the images from the stamp set Treat Cart twice, knowing that I would have extra images that I could use to embellish inside the card and on the envelope.
I did that, but still had leftover colored images, including a little bunny, so when I saw the stencil challenge, I went through my Lawn Fawn stencil and when I spotted the Thought Bubbles, I got the idea to have the little bunny think of all of the frozen treats he could get. I also used the Grassy Hillside to ground the bunny. I wanted a French sentiment, so I pulled "Make a Wish" from a retired Stampin' Up! set.
I was going through my 6"x 6" paper pads to find something for the card base and nothing was really grabbing me, until I remembered I still had some frozen treats paper in similar pastels shades, so I fished it out of my scrap bin, and I had enough to not only do the card background, but also make a matching envelope out of it.
The white rectangle was getting lost on the busy background, so I matted it with Calypso Coral cardstock, and I matted the patterned paper with purple cardstock, then mounted the panel on a Pool Party card base. I wanted one more layer, so I pulled a pearlized doily, and it too was getting lost on the pattern so I used a blender brush to ink it with Pool Party ink (on the non-pearlized side). Then I remembered I also had some leftover brads from this collection, so I cut the prongs off and glued it next to the sentiment.
I used a purple cross-stitched rectangle on the envelope and some remaining colored images to tie it all together. For a card made with a bunch of old supplies and leftover images, it turned out pretty nice!
