Birthdays and bunnies

A sore throat got out of hand, and i was knocked off my feet, literally in the two falls i had. I'm on the mend but have a lowly bruise on my behind and an arm, but no serious damage. Whilst croaking i managed to make a card for my other half, to be posted urgently by someone who was able to get to the post office for me.

Now the theme had to be Movies/Hollywood.  His is very into the latest films, the old films, the tv shows that spin off from films and vice versa. He is to the large blockbusters, but can spot a turkey of film quickly. In his words, if the popcorns gone and he ready to sleep, he's outta there. Catwoman is a turkey he is ready to Frisbee out of a window, if ever i am daft enough to put it on when he visits. Yeah i know, but i like the film, sod the facts that there are mistakes galore and a story line that is erm, well not as the comics?

But i've gone off on a tangent. He likes films, so i had found some background printable off CraftsUPrint, and i had some blue holographic card i had found somewhere, the name escapes me right now. Anyhow, the two together shouts glitz and glamour, but now all i needed was the filmstrip. Saved by Hobbycraft! A clear stamp was just the right thing, and with each stamp being done, there was a change, just like a old filmstrip, it's edges not quite crisp, but there enough to give the right look. I took some of the pictures in the background and cut them carefully out. All were place on to the dry filmstrip and then mounted on some of the holographic card. Next was to add the greeting, purchased from Craft Creations, the glitter peel offs added the right amount of bling, that seems to be at every Oscar event. All in all a very Hollywood card.

And now to bunnies. I have fallen in love with this super cute idea from Craft Ideas Now my son has stones, lots of them. And if i can persuade him, i might just be able to decorate some with him. That is if i can find some super cute bunnies. I have a few, it's just are they in a box, or somewhere else. Now PVA glue i know we always have, what crafter doesn't, and rather than buy some special glue for decoupaging, i just used slightly watered down PVA. As it dries it hardens to a nice finish, and extra coats should help protect it. Make sure to do the layers after each has fully dried though... else your image will possibly move, tear or distort, or all three. Not the look we really want.

So i'm off hunting bunnies. Have a good day. Happy Crafting!
