Folk Art Easter Bunny

Hello!  I know you're all busy with Easter weekend and, if so, maybe you'll stop by later.  It's quiet here.  No little ones or Easter visitors, and that's just fine.  Monday the landscaper is scheduled to start and we have company coming on Tuesday.  It will be a busy week!

I have one more Easter card to share.  I enjoyed making it with my Cottage Cutz Folk Art Rabbit (first time use), and a few additional pretty elements from my stash.


Cottage Cutz Happy Easter Phrase, Poppystamps Floral Dotted Border, partial cut IO Grass Border



I clear-embossed the sentiment and added Diamond Stickles over it, as well as on the yellow flower centers.  Sorry the sparkle doesn't show.  A leftover strip from Spellbinders Criss Cross Motif 3D embossing folder adds a textural border.

More designer paper from The Vast Hoard -- yay!  I have a weakness for woodgrain, whether in cardstock, embossing folders, or designer paper.  This pretty piece comes from a 6x6 pad of Polkadoodles Peeling Paint papers that's been in The Hoard for a few years.  It was just right for an Easter card.

Challenges:

NBUS Challenge #73 -- My Folk Art Rabbit is never before used.

 



Have a happy Easter weekend!

What a pretty pastel Easter card this is! The folk art bunny is adorable. I like how you added the embossed daisy strip and those delicate die cut daisies. Such great texture and color! Your bunnies from the last post are adorable as well! Looks like I could reach out and pet them, your coloring is so perfect. Happy Easter to you Leslie!
