Floating Bunny

Bear with me because I know this card is a little unconventional- the main image is "floating" off the edge of the card! I thought I would try something new, and new it is.

• I started with the basket image first. It was inked up using Melon Mambo and stamped onto whisper white.
  
• I used a sticky note to cover the basket portion so that I could place the bunny "inside".
• The bunny and shadowing was created using Sahara Sand and a blender pen.
• To create the balloon portion, I took a piece of Melon Mambo Patterns DSP and covered it using Sticky Pages. Then, with the red film still attached, I used my 1 3/4" Circle punch to pop out the "balloon". TIP: This was not easy... The punch didn't cut through the sticky page and I did end up doing a tiny bit of hand-cutting using my paper snips.
• Next, I covered the circle using clear micro beads (a little hard to see, click the photo to enlarge), and attached it to the basket using glue dots.
• The Whisper White was popped up using dimensionals onto a mat of Going Gray.
• Another Melon Mambo print was given a scallop edge and added to the right side and the entire piece was matted again in Pretty in Pink.
• Pretties Kit half-pearls were added in each corner using mini-glue dots.
• The Going Gray card base is not a standard card size (in keeping with my unconventional theme!). I used the scallop edge punch on both the front and back.
• The sentiment, from Cute & Cuddly, was isolated from the scallop square using a Melon Mambo and a Basic Black marker. It was cropped using a 1 1/4" circle punch and layered onto a Melon Mambo circle and Pretty in Pink scallop circle.
• Melon Mambo Polka Dot Grosgrain ribbon was wrapped around the card and a white Latte Designer button was sewn to the middle using gray thread.

Can you tell the shower is for a baby girl? :)
