{What's Shaking?} Viva La Verve

Hello,

Have you had a chance to play along with this months' Viva La Verve challenges? I hope you have because the sketches so far have already been amazing and are sure to just keep on getting better and better. :) In case you haven't heard of Viva La Verve I'll post all the deets for ya at the end of this post.

First let me show you this week's sketch by Miss Andrea:

and now a little more info on my card:

I love love LOVE this bunny Julee designed. I think it's the cutest thing ever...don't ya just love that tail?! It reminds me of the squirrels at my parents house. Those are some cute little rascals. Nearly every time they hear the car pull out of the garage they hop to the garage and wait for my mom to throw some peanuts to them. Some of them come so close she can feed them by hand!! One time the door to the garage was open and one of them made it all the way inside on top of the cabinet where the bucket with the peanuts were. lol Imagine my mom's face when she walked into the garage to see the squirrel there!! I don't know who was more surprised...the squirrel or my mom! lol

Anyway back to the card... the bunny and sentiment are from the Verve mini set Bunny Shake.

I cut out the sentiment using Verve's Charming Banner Die Set and layered that on top of Verve's Charming Oval Die Set. The papers I used are from Cosmo Crickets' Earth Love collection and October Afternoon's Fly a Kite. Then all I did was added stitching, some ribbon and a button with some twine. 

Oh and I almost forgot...I added liquid applique to the bunny's tail for some fluffiness and some glitter to the bunny. {of course lol I can't seem to make a card that doesn't have glitter on it somewhere :)}

now let me fill you in on the Viva La Verve deets:
