You are Eggstra special !!

Hi!

Happy Easter to all my eggstra special bloggie friends. Here’s a commissioned card  I made for a friend who recently got engaged and wanted to send it to her fiancé in Australia. The moment she got the card out of the envelope she loved it so much that she gave me a hug and kept admiring it. Then, I told her to open the inside and I got two more hugs. I was really happy the card came together after a long struggle and that she appreciated it. I hope you’ll like it too. The inspiration for this card was from Amy's blog HERE and this is my version …

    After trying shapes like rectangle and inverted heart, I finalized my egg shaped bunny face template. The bottom piece of cardstock was with the ears while the top piece without. A heart shape was cut using a craft knife on the top piece to align with the die cut foam heart on the bottom piece.  After scoring the bottom piece just less than an inch below the top of head, the two pieces were joined at the top. The purpose of scoring the bottom piece was to enable the card to be opened without ruining the top by pulling the bottom piece backwards.  Some DP from my stash was used for the inside of the ears, and dry embossed around it with a large ball stylus for dimension. The left ear was folded down and secured with foam tape.  The tuft of fur was also cut separately and attached with foam tape for dimension. The rest of the facial features were drawn with a pointer and finished off with large googlie eyes.

Here’s the inside of the card…

I showed my friend some stamps I had for the inside. She wanted me to use them all. So I wrote U R my and stamped eggstra special, honey bunny, with lots of love & hugs and kisses. Happy Easter! using Gina K.- Square Pegs stamp set ; and got yet another hug. :)  

Have a fabulous day!
