I discovered two uncomfortable truths whilst I was making this card. Firstly, I'm not fond of making baby cards and secondly, I really suck at lining up three step stamps!
I'm so in awe of all those people who seem to do it so effortlessly!

| The baby won't know it's not perfect! |
In my mind it was all so serene! I would stamp the rabbit first, mask it and then stamp the bear. Hah! After the third attempt, I decided to scrap the masking idea and make the animals individually then glue them into position. Hah!
The three step stampin process and I really don't get along well, even with the use of my trusty Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to which I eventually resorted! I still wasn't happy with the sixth attempts but by that time I was mentally and emotionally exhausted - so I'm afraid I decided that close enough was as good as it was going to get!
So, I present slightly imperfect soft toys and a card that wasn't quite as I envisaged it!
Thank you for checking in on my mental health!
'Til next time!

I just ordered the bunny set. I have seen really good images and some pretty bad ones since it was released. I hope I will be able to do a decent one myself. I too struggle with perfect alignment. Such a sweet bunny though. I didn't ever try the bear. He's very cute too but I have a "thing" for rabbits. I like the bunny you did. I am making a note of the colors you chose. I think I know what I want for the brown colors, but not blue or pink ones. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Tonilea - you've made me feel much better! It really is a very cute bunny and I'm sure you'll get along with the process much better than I!
