Spring & Easter Bunnies

 I have a ton of unfinished cards and bits and pieces on my craft table, but I got this idea in my head and it would not let go!

It is the first time I'm using this row of bunnies. I gave them a touch of colour and details with copics.

When getting out my die cuts, I spotted theses bunnies too.

Easter Blessings

I like to give the carers that look after my MIL an Easter basket of goodies and a card or bookmark. 

This is this year's collection ... bookmarks for the personal carers, cards for the nursing staff.

I used the olive bush stamp to make patterned paper, and used it to die cut the leaves and flowers.

Here's and idea of how the Olive Bush stamp looks like.

Easter Wishes

Using some of my new supplies ... the lovely Fancy Garden die from Hero Arts, the delightful patterned paper from Alexandra Renke ...

I know it would have been brighter with a blue sky, but I wanted to keep it simple with the colours of the bunny.

Distress ...

I was so happy to see that this week's challenge as CAS-ology is Distress. I wanted to try Jennifer's Distress Ink lift technique with embossing.

It certainly lends itself to lovely bright colours, which is perfect for Easter and spring.

I made up one panel of the flowers, but decided I could get two cards out of it. I die cut a bunch of the Impression Obsession bunnies, and the Simon Says Stamp Tiny flowers and leaves.

I wanted to have Easter blessings as my sentiment, but didn't anything. So Silhouette saved the day once again!

Easter ...

I wanted to make a special Easter card for my Mother and Mother-in-love this year, so I browsed Pinterest for some inspiration. There are so many beautiful cards out there, but this one by Kay Miller struck a cord with me.

I cut my crosses in Silhouette and used the More Fresh Cuts from WPlus9 for my flowers. The rays in background are Hero Arts Starburst Background.

I made 2 with the crosses having opposite colours as the top and offset. The first one I started by shading my background with HA Soft Sky, but my sponge had some turquoise residue so the colour was not true.

I made sure I had a clean sponge for the second card.

I split the Art Impressions sentiment by masking the bits I didn't want to stamp, so I had the beginning of the message on the front, and the rest inside.

A fun Easter card for my nieces ...

I masked the eggs, and coloured the Bunny tag with copics.
