We're hosting a color challenge at Gingersnap Creations, and it's one of my favorite combos ever: Burgundy, Black and Cream!
I'm still holding out hope that someday, somehow, that mythic season known as "spring" will come to southwestern Idaho (as opposed to blasting from 58 degrees straight into the high 90s overnight like it did last year), so I invoked the Great Bunny of Springtime for this card (actually, it's an older Hero Arts stamp, but it's the thought that counts, right?). If nothing else, I hope she'll be a talisman against another freak snowstorm like we had last weekend.
Okay, I'm finished griping about meteorological issues (stupid snow!), and am going to console myself by admiring the other Gingersnap Design Team members' art for this challenge. I get to work alongside some insanely talented people, and I hope you'll check out their submissions and, while you're at it, strut your own stuff! You have all the way until June 22 to rock the burgundy!

Oh, I love the sweet bunny! I hope that the temperatures are finally starting to warm up a bit. We've had the air conditioning on since Monday...hot sticky weather here for the last few days. Truly, though, this piece is adorable. I love the little flower embellishments. :) Theresa
If you want, I'll send some of our heat your way, it's been in the flippin' 90's since Sunday. I like heat, but only till about 80.
Your card is craftilicious, my dear. Love the little flowers, and the bunny is too cute! Say, didn't I see a pic of you on Lynn's blog??? Real close up and personal like? lol It was a great pic, btw, judging by the pic, I'm going to guess you're 25.
OOh FAB colors! And your bunny is a real cutie!

Hey, Linda--I'm lovin' your bunny!!! You did a great job on the color theme!!!
I hear ya about the weather, sister--it was in the 50's here last week and in the upper 80's today. I think summer is here in SW Ohio!

The bunny is just so cute! Love your take on the color challenge! Thank you also for the very kind words on my blog! Wishing you a warm day. I am in the High Desert in CA and it is pretty cold here and like you, we will go from cold to HOT!
