Bunny + Cupcake

 Howdy Crafters ~ For this card, I had an old oval embossing folder  template in my stash so decided to give it a try.  

The embossing folder template uses a layering technique of cutting plates to get the oval flat area for stamping.  It has been a long time since I used my embossing templates and was glad to revisit this technique,  as I like the outcome.

 I used a pink marker for coloring the ear, nose, of the bunny and the cupcake.

A stitched scallop die was used to frame the embossing folder - Thanks for stopping by!

When I first saw this free digital stamp download I thought of the movie Annie - I used a Yellow marker for the sun - and added a Die Cut Karen B coffee cup die in the middle.

The Cuttlebug & Die-Namics Stitched Rectangles and Stitched Banner Die were used to cut the layouts for the digital stamp

A Micron Black Ink Pen was used for the Music Sentiment at the top
