Happy Easter from Bunny Boy




I had the opportunity to color a few images and create some cards during nap time and this happens to be my favorite of the day. I used this "new to me" image from C.C. Designs called Bunny Boy and isn't he adorable?

And I used the new Doodlebug Design paper pad Easter Express that everyone is raving about. I thought these papers worked well with this whimsical image.

I wanted to create a scene with the card but didn't want to fussy cut the image out. I was being completely lazy and I guess I'm in love with what lazy did for me today.

I picked up the Avery Elle picket fence die set a few weeks back because I wanted the fence die but I used the grass and cloud dies from it for this card.

I added clouds to the background but overlapped the main image panel using foam tape. The sentiment is from a Gerda Steiner Design stamp set called Nerdy Easter Bunny. I stamped that in Versafine Onyx Black Ink so it would show up on the hand cut banner. 

I finished the inside with a little scene similar to the one on the front of the card using left over scraps and left the inside blank. 
The card base is a piece of MFT's Lemon Chiffon 100# Prestige card stock.  And I finally opened the pack of Nina 80# white that I wanted to try for Copic coloring. I do like it so far. It might be my new go-to for Copic coloring, we will see. 

Here is a sneak peek at two other cards I made when I had my paper and markers out.

Peek-A-Boo Easter

I had a few minutes to create today and I wanted to focus on an Easter card. I received this adorable set in the mail a few days ago and needed to get it inky!

The Peek-A-Boo Easter set from Taylored Expressions has a few sentiments that work throughout the year so I can see myself using it more than just at Easter.

I played with a new die from Gina Marie Dies as well. Cute edging on that circle, am I right?

Anyway, here is my card for the day.


A close up of the main image panel with this cute bunny on it. I used Copics to color him in and added glossy accents to the eyes and nose. The card base is Steel Grey from Simon Says Stamp. And that cute embellishment is from My Mind's Eye. 






I finished the inside of the card by stamping the images in black and a sentiment.  Two tiny banners tie the papers from the outside of the card to the inside.
