Pastel Easter Bunny

This is the end of the Easter cards for me....I think! Started with a fantastic sketch at Totally Papercrafts, and I used a bunny from Paper Doll Dress Up, cut with real dial size, scalloped oval from Nesties, 4 squares from Nesties, and all scrap paper.  Added some flowers, some buttons and bow......    This card will also work for the Fantabulous Cricut challenge:  pastel Easter cards.

Easter Bunny and Egg - High Hopes Challenge #68

Still having fun learning to color images....this one is from High Hopes Stamps.   Added some *old* paper that I got about 100 sheets of from Sam's club 2 years ago....added a neat background paper from DCWV.....backed my image with a Paisley flower button...and edged it out with purple trim.

Easter Fun

Still workin' on the Easter cards....and using those colored images. This week-end's sketch at Practical Scrappers was perfect for this little bunny.  Another High Hopes Stamp...colored with pencils and gamsol and cut out (didn't mean to do that....but spilled something on the square background...)  Used a 4" Doodlecharms egg to back him...embossed with stripes.  Used some scrap Christmas paper (yep!) and embossed (Swiss Dots) green cardstock.  Added yellow/white striped ribbon and orange ribbon.   The purple trim is punched with a Stampin' Up punch.  The sentiment is letter stickers from Big Lots $1 pile...placed on a white rectangle inked with green.

Bunny with Tulips

I love spring....and I'm enjoying working on the Easter cards.   This little fella is from High Hopes Stamps...colored with pencils and gamsol (I'm lovin' practicing on this technique)  The paper is K & Company and purple cardstock.   Used the MS Loopy Punch for the border, yellow loopy ribbon, and little tulips (2" and 2 1/2") from Walk in My Garden.

Happy Spring!

Designed to Delight Digital Stamps  has a great freebie this week....and if you complete the challenge with the cute little free bunny, they'll give you more free stamps.   What a deal....and what a cute image!  Thanks for the great present!

I colored my bunny with colored pencils, using the Gamsol technique.  I love to do this, but I'm not so good at it.  I used a sketch from RAQ's challenge on the Cricut messageboard.  Embossed the peach cardstock with the basket weave folder.  

Bunnies in a Row

After days (weeks, months) of snow, I had to make something "springy".  Used a sketch from RAQ's challenge (Cricut messageboard) and paper from DCWV's ultimate stack.  Used a little bunny from Stretch Your Imagination, added details with pink ink and a sharpie....glazed them in glitter.  Cut the squares from AC scraps with my Nesties, added some tulip and daisy cuts from Walk in My Garden.  Punched the yellow border with my new Stampin' Up border punch...added ribbon and an oval (Nesties) with hand written sentiment.  It didn't turn out like I imagined, but it's okay.   At least it looks like spring.

Sing for Joy!

Polka Doodle has a great challenge this week...a cute sketch, and you have to use a bird.  My favorite cut on Stretch Your Imagination is that cute little yellow bird so I knew I wanted to put him on my card.  It ended up being an Easter card.....nice to do something "springy" for a change.  Used SYI, George for the circles, Walk in my Garden, and MS border punch.  Sentiment is computer generated.

Trio of Bunny Cards - Cute Card Thursday #54

I really wanted to use the bunny on the Doodlecharms cartridge this year so here he is. I'm making cards to use up scraps! Bunny is cut at Blackout-wiggly eyes, sharpie details, thread whiskers, and inked cheeks and ears. I cut a 5" oval out of the front of my card....ran it through the embosser (those Swiss Dots I love so much..) and put patterned paper on the inside of the card. Attached the bunny to the inside with pop dots and added ribbon and flowers, etc. Quick and easy.

The challenge at Cute Card Thursday was to use citrus colors, and all three cards do just that. I love the bright colors for Easter!

Easter Card - Spoonful of Sugar #44

Here is one of my Easter cards. I've made a variety of colors. Used up lots of scraps.....Yeah!!! Once I designed the chick, these were easy!
