The background was made with fabric tape (must have been before washi tape) I have had it for over 5 years and I used most of the roll. The stamp I used is from House Mouse Designs called Inner Tube Nap, the Happy Birthday is cut with an Impression Obsession die.
Since there was a seashell theme happening I just had to use some Seashell brads from the
On to the second card
I kinda went freestyle with this card so I could feature the silk flower (there were two in the package) I received it from a Secret Sister swap and the date on the back of the package was 2005, so I'm shopping my stash big time. I made a Birthday card with the patterned paper so had some leftovers so using a one inch punch I made 8 patterned and 8 plain, did double sided tape on a piece of cardstock and very carefully lined them up and attached them, I then ran the finished piece through the cuttlebug with an embossing folder. Then layered it on green and a blue postage stamp die (unmarked) The Happy Birthday is also an unmarked die.
Close up of the silk flower, finally I had a reason to spring it out of it's 2005 package.

Love that fabric washi tape...how do I not have any fabric washi tape???
As with Donna, I'm thinking, how did I miss out on the fabric tape era? Love both cards, Barb, that is some serious patterned paper arranging on the second one.
This little bunny sure has the life. Wonderful card, loving the background you used too. Thanks for joining us for the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.

Oooh, TWO! Way to shop that stash, girl! I love that fabric tape, looks cool, but it is just perfect with that adorable bunny! Just in time for summer greetings! And a flower from over 10 years ago... yay! Aren't you glad you used it?
Oh, I want to be that bunny just about NOW!! He looks relaxed and totally enjoying a snooze.
