It's a Bunny Valentine by Janet!

 

Valentine's Day is just about here! It always comes to fast don't you think? My card today is for the holiday but also celebrates the Highlights Ai card challenge going on right now on the blog. 

The set I've used in today's card is 5221 - Sending Love Cubbies. It features the bunny and a very cool mailbox. The set includes so many great accessories that can be held by the bunny in her apron and also can come out of the mailbox. Letters, presents, party hats, flowers, candy hearts, a bow, and cupcakes can be stamped, colored and cut using the dies that are included. For my card, I colored and cut out all the pieces included. 

When the dies are used to cut out the mailbox, it cuts the doors open so you can tuck items inside. It also cuts a slit in the rabbit's apron so that items can be tucked in there as well. It makes arranging the accessories so easy to do. Ai really does a great job with this, as they do with all the Cubbies sets.

In the spirit of the Highlights challenge, I used my fine line white paint pen to draw in the lines in her dress and highlight many items such as the hearts in the vine, the arrow, flower, the bunny's eyes and nose, and many other items where I felt there could possibly be a reflection.

To make this card, I started with the blue plaid background on an white A2 card. I thought this would make a whimsical sky background. Then I cut out two pieces of grass out of different green cardstocks and layered them on top of each other and at the base of the card. Before doing more, I stamped the sentiment in the left corner. To finish, I glued the mailbox in place and put the rabbit on foam pads. Then I arranged all the accessories I had colored and cut. 

There's so many great pieces in this set and although it does have a Valentine's flair, it really could work for Easter or a birthday. Adding a few eggs or a small cake with candles from your stamp stash would totally give this set additional opportunities to use it.

Thanks so much for joining me here at the blog today. As always, please visit the Ai Store for the products I used and all the things you need for your card, journal, and tag making projects. Happy creating!
