Easter Bunny SOTM Card

When I saw this week's Color My Heart Color Dare, I instantly pictured an Easter card, so I enjoyed playing with the  stamp of the month again. If you missed the earlier blog hop featuring this stamp set, you can find it here. 

The color dare featured silver, Black, White Daisy, Pansy, and Raspberry:

Most of the supplies used are from CTMH except the white ribbon. In addition, I used Cricut Art Philosophy and Artistry cartridges along with Cricut Design Space for the free scalloped background mat from Cricut Craftroom.  If you have those two cartridges you may use my cut files with Design Space. They are sized for a 5.5" x 4.25" card.

I paper pieced the bunny's ears and dress using Raspberry heart paper from Adventure Fundamentals collection. I used the Confetti embossing folder to add some texture.  (The silver flowers decorating the egg on the left are no longer available.)

Thank you for visiting!

February SOTM Blog Hop - Easter Bunny

Welcome to our CTMH Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. You may have just come from Donna Digby's blog.   You can find the entire list of bloggers at Melinda Everitt's blog. February's stamp of the month, "Easter Bunny," is definitely great for Easter stamping. It has some great sentiments that work for other occasions, too. I chose the female bunny and a friendship quote that would be great for Valentine's Day, birthday, or encouragement. I thought it went perfectly with the Hello Lovely flowered paper which I tied with Blush Shimmer Ribbon.

The sweet bunny image was stamped twice, once on white and once on the sorbet dotted pattern which I cut out for the ears and dress in order to paper piece. The bunny's hair and legs were lightly colored using a black watercolor pencil which looks gray when colored softly.  She was easy to fussy cut. I stamped the sentiment on a shape from Cricut Artistry (p.2) which I altered by unlocking the padlock shape to the left of the sizes and setting the size to 2.75" width and 2.25" height. I just backed the heart and cutouts with a scrap of the sorbet paper and made a Fern pattern mat that measured 3" width and 2.5" height. Lastly, I added some Pink Enamel Gems to highlight the message. Everything was attached to a white panel that I embossed with the Simple Chevron Embossing Folder.

Thank you for visiting. I was the last person on the hop, so you may be ready to go to the beginning to see what Wendy Kessler has to delight you!

Here is another card I made using this stamp set. It does have a link to bring you back here to the blog hop.
