Hello there friends! I’m so happy to be stamping again! I saw Cindy’s sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches and I was immediately inspired to pull out this darling bunny…
I know it’s a bit early for Easter but I have so many fun sets that if I don’t start now, I’ll never use them all! That’s what happened for Valentine’s Day…so many sets will have to wait a whole year now…so sad 🙁
This darling stamp, die and sentiment are from Clearly Besotted Stamps Hoppy Easter set (Yes, I bought it last year…). I’m not a very confident colorer (is that a word?) so I love that there are two bunnies in the set, one in outline so you can color him, and one stamped image for the rest of us (wink).
My Favorite Things Vertical Stitched Strips Dies just arrived in my mailbox yesterday so I pulled them out and put them to work! Now, they are supposed to be vertical stitched stripes but as you can see, they work horizontally just fine. I ran the pattern paper through the Big Shot with the die, then positioned my die cut on a slant on my card base and then cut off the overhanging sides with my guillotine paper trimmer from Stampin’ Up! It’s retired now, but will never retire from my stamp room (I have a replacement stashed in my closet so I should be good for a few years…lol)
The bunny and sentiment are stamped in Raspberry Fizz ink. I then applied Wink of Stella liberally to him.I think he looks velveteen!
I used a small die cut border in MFT Grape Jelly card stock to add a bit of separation between the pattern paper and the card base. A few adorably colored sprinkles are the perfect jewelry!
I appreciate your visit here to my blog today, I would love to hear any feedback you would care to share!
Wishing you joy and blessings! (And warmth if you are back east)

This is adorable. I love that bright paper and we need a touch of color in this dreary midwest. The bunny is so cute. I’m starting to see some Easter cards so I’d better get my stuff out! Thanks so much for coming by my blog and leaving a nice comment.
It is nice to see you are into your Easter cards. The jellybean look with the dots is so clever. I feel the same way about my Spring things. I have many fun stamps a sone nice dies (with more on the way–I just can’t resist tulip sets) so I think I’ll be getting my Easter/Spring materials onto the craft table. Thanks for the cute inspiration.
Oh…tulips!! I need those!! lol It IS nice to bring out the spring colors and patterns! Thanks Sharon!!
This is such a cool card, Shannon! That little bunny is so adorable and I love the bright colors behind him. Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
Being a bunny lover it is never too early for them! Love the bright and springy colors on your card. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you Rosemarie!! Bunnies sure are sweet!
That sweet bunny is just right sitting on his strip of plaid!! Thanks for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
