From a bunny butt to Easter Blessings, Happy Easter to you!

 

I hope you're enjoying a wonderful day. It was absolutely beautiful here. I got alot done - shopping for a big meal tomorrow, house cleaning, and more. I've been seeing these "bunny butt" cards, as I call them, on Pinterest and other blogs and had to join in the fun. I used the Woodgrain embossing folder on the Soft Suede card front, then used a variety of punches - 2-1/2" circle for the hole and bunny butt, wide oval for the feet, smaller oval for the pink part of the feet, and owl punch for the toes with the 1/2-circle for the heels. The sentiment is from the Delightful Dozen stamp set with a Subtles button with baker's twine. The sparkly pom-pom tail was purchased at a craft store years ago!

 



 

This Very Vanilla card was first embossed with the Framed Tulips folder, then sponged around with Elegant Eggplant ink. The Easter Blessings single stamp was also inked in eggplant, die-cut with an oval framelit, and adhered with dimensionals to Natural Composition paper, which already feels embossed. I added three flowers from Flower Trim after sponging them with eggplant.

Easter swaps highlight of American Ink gathering

 

This month's American Ink swaps were all about Easter. Mine, above, uses the single stamp Easter Blessings (Item 129183 for $8.95 in the Spring Catalog). I started with a Very Vanilla card and layered Wisteria Wonder and a Flower Garden Folder-embossed vanilla on that. I heat embossed the stamp in Whisper White ink and used the Oval Collections Framelits to diecut it. Final touches include the single flower from the flower trim, and ruffled Wisteria Wonder ribbon.

 



Frankie swap

Frankie's pink and brown card uses the Scallop Trim Border punch, Melon Mambo striped ribbon (Spring Catty), and Every Egg wheel.

Mary Ann swap

Mary Ann's Crumb Cake swap uses a pattern from the Print Poetry pad with a sentiment from Perfect Punches, and a flower from Secret Garden.



Ginette's swap

And Ginette's swap uses the Fancy Fan embossing folder, Oval framelits, Elegant Butterfly punch and basic rhinestones, and Spring Catalog items Secret Garden with coordinating framelits by the same name.

I decided to add Mary Ann's make and take too. I stamped the sentiment before adding the oval and realized I'd stamped it too high. Oops! It's really pretty, though. I love that she used Bright Blossoms stamps on this card. I haven't used that set since last summer, I think.
