Digi Haven DT Card - Vintage / Something Old

We have a new challenge for you at Digi Haven, this fortnight our theme is "Vintage or Something Old" and we're sponsored by Floppy Latte.  The DT were all given vintage toy images, from our sponsor, to work with, I got this sweet rabbit, I coloured him with a mix of Promarkers and Flexmarkers, added Anita's 3D Gloss to his eye and nose, and inked the edges of the topper with Antique Linen Distress Ink.
 I thought this image would make a nice baby card, I went for a boy's card, but it would work equally well for a girl too, I think.  I've used a mix of papers on this one, the blue ones are Nit Wits, Bear Necessities, from Lili of the Valley, and the neutral ones are Papermania, Gorjuss.  I've added in some kraft card and distressed all the edges for a shabby, vintage feel.  A lacy doily and old buttons also add to the antique look.
The sentiment was heat embossed with white powder onto kraft, the stamp I used is from a Buzz Craft set, I really like the font.  Some blue and white baker's twine and a nappy pin embellishment, that's been lurking in my stash for yonks, finish off my old fashioned card.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Card Crafter's Circle - #90 - For the Boys
Simply Create Too - #45 - Vintage / Old
Stamping With the Dragon - Buttons and Bows

  18. Aww.. this bunny looks so soft and cuddly. All the little extras you've added are lovely. I adore the little "nappy" pin and think it's so much fun that you call a diaper a "nappy". LOL. Beautiful card.
