Two cards today. The first is for Rainbow Lady's challenge 'Year of the Rabbit' celebrating the Chinese New Year. My card is more of an Easter card but it's got the rabbit. The image and the lovely bp are from a MCS free download - the trellis border a Marth Stewart punch and the flower is made from a selection of my flower punches and a Sissiz die for the stem. The pot is just a scrap of card cut to shape and scored to make the rim.
The second card is for this week's Bah Humbug challenge - 'Buttons and Bows'. The snowman image is from Serif Craft Artist and I've given him buttons for his buttons - if that makes sense. The snowflake backing is a piece of vellum over a piece of white paper. I folded the vellum top and bottom to fit the paper and stuck it with DS tape. Not brads needed. The buttons and ribbon are from my stash. It all looks a bit pale I'm afraid. Well - it is quite pale but with the poor daylight here today it looks even paler.
Thanks very much for visiting today.

Two beautiful cards Beryl - love the Rabbit and the flower - the colours are gorgeous. Well, you will have one less Xmas card to make later in the year Beryl - can't quite get myself motivated to make Xmas cards just yet - December is usually when I make mine!!!

2 great cards Beryl. I really REALLY like your use of red matting and embellishments on the snowman card. It makes the whole card come alive. Thank you for sharing with us at Bah! Humbug!

Beryl,
I love the rabbit image coloring! It is close to Easter, so a rabbit fits the challenge and your card is lovely. The stitched snowman is really cute and country looking. I like the X's for his eyes (cross stitches) and that ribbon is perfect as an embellishment.
Thanks for sharing.
Love, Martha

Lovely cards, seems odd making Christmas and Easter cards at the same time lol!! Does that mean it's going to snow on Easter!
