This is the second card I made for yesterday's sketch.
Any opinions about whether to leave the sentiment on or off are welcome...I'm still not sure. At the moment it's not stuck on, it's just tucked under the wide strip. But it looks better than then centred underneath - or at least that's what I think. I think I think...
I am not usually so flathiulach (extravagant) as to use a whole sheet of expensive paper on one card. But then I told myself that I only bought the paper to use the rabbit, and really shabby collage is not my style so get wise, stop hoarding it, use the rabbit and the rest of the paper while you're at it .
I used scallop scissors to cut the circles, to match in with the scallops on the paper. Apart from that, all I added was some fine braid between the circles and the bottom strip, sponging on the edges and some Glossy Accents on the bird, the popped-up blue flowers and the bunny's cheeks.
As I said, not sure about the sentiment. DH said go for it, and as he works in DTP I usually listen when he talks about design. But, he didn't see any problem with my smudged Liquid Pearls last night, and was aghast when I started pulling my first card apart, so I am not sure if I should be listening to him today. I think his critical faculties have taken a short mid-term break.

So cute! I like the sentiment where it is - off centre is way more interesting, though I sympathise with your indecisiveness; I'm constantly changing my mind! TFS x
