Hello, sweet friends! I hope you're having a blessed week. :o) I'm back with my final little card for the family I've been creating for the last few weeks. As previously mentioned, I discovered Audrey's Army while looking for kiddos to pray for... and my heart needed to create for them. She is 1.5 years old and battling multiple heart defects, Downs Syndrome, and additional health issues.
Audrey remains on ECMO, a form of life support to grant her body time to rest and hopefully heal her lungs. To go along with the happy rainbow card I made her, I thought she would enjoy a new little bunny friend when she awakes. :o)
Isn't she completely huggable as she holds a teeny tiny card? She is glowing with love for Audrey! I fell in love with this cut file from Cardmaking Paradise and had to make it for her. I adore the design that allows her to stand up! All of the pieces are inked with Spun Sugar for loving sweetness and I added pink and lime twine bows for textural fun.
One alteration I made to the cut file was to use hearts for the paws, rather than the circles that came with it. The little card was made with bright and fun Doodlebug Designs papers. The darling Copic-colored bunny and sweet sentiment are from SugarPea Designs' One Big Hoppy Family stamp set.
The interior sentiment is from the same set and is perfect for this little angel... Audrey is such a sweetheart and an inspiration. I love her so much.
When the feet are up, the card can stay tucked inside... which is cute and was intended for this last picture! In my rush, I goofed.
Audrey is indeed some bunny special and I pray her healing heart grows stronger every time she sees her new bunny friend and happy rainbow... they were made with my and God's love, after all. I've decided to classify her heart as healing rather than battling, as no defects are too great for our God to overcome.
Thank you for hopping on by! Have a beautifully sparkly day. :o)

What a trooper Little Audrey is - I hope her parents will save these wonderfully sweet designs for her to decorate her room when she comes home. I happen to have some of that pretty diamond shape paper - it's beautiful, isn't it? But it's especially darling in the bunny ears and bunny pads! The card is even sweeter, if that is possible, Karen. Karen, I have found your email, and hope to respond soon - I'm having trouble keeping up these days - thank you so VERY much for your love and kindness! xo
ReplyDeleteAaw Karin this is just super adorable. Loving that super sized bunny and its even more special as its for a very special little princess xxx
