I'm also popping in at the last minute to join the Word challenge at Just Us Girls, using the word you.
I love this soft color pairing and decided to make a cute and simple Easter card.
I adore that big bunny and used it a couple of years ago to create shaped Easter cards for the grands, but this time I wanted to use her on a card front. Because of her size, the card ended up being A7.
Starting with the background, I randomly ink blended Shaded Lilac and Salvaged Patina over a panel of mixed media paper. When the ink dried the panel was embossed with tiny polka dots and then trimmed down.
The bunny, flowers and leaves were die cut in white, then ink blended with the same colors. The bunny was adhered to the blended background, added to the card front and decorate with one flower and the leafy branches. The sentiment was stamped, fussy cut and added to the card with thin foam squares. I decided it still looked a little bare, so the remaining flower and two leaves were adhered in the corner. The last touch was to add Glossy accent to the bunny's gray eye and Stardust Stickles to the white flower centers.
For more inspiration be sure to visit the challenge blog and check out the fabulous variety of cards created by my talented teammates and our Guest Designer Caroline! I hope you'll join us for this challenge, it will remain open until Tuesday, April 29th at 3pm EDT.
Thanks for visiting and take care!
