A Wildflower Circle window card sets the scene for the Gentle Bunny on a sparkly Easter card today. Glittery pink, violet and purple blossoms from the Forget Me Not Blooms create a bright background. The sweet bunny is cut from textured gold paper to resemble a foil-wrapped chocolate treat...I hope!
Happy weekend everyone - Jean Okimoto here with a just-in-time Easter card. It's amazing how fast the year is flying by. Thank goodness we have so many great Memory Box dies and stamps to keep up with the holidays.
Cut a circle on a side-folded A-2 card of textured white cardstock with the 3" Circle Basics die. Cut Wildflower Circle from pale green cardstock.
Cut pink, violet and purple glittered cardstock with the blossoms from the Forget Me Not Blooms set. Punch ¼" circles of yellow cardstock for the flower centers.
Trim the tips of the wildflowers that will be covered with the glittered flowers. Attach just the circle portion of the Wildflower Circle inside the card. The adhesive from the glittered flowers will secure the ends of the wildflowers. Adhere the yellow dots to the background where you'll place the flowers - including the three little flowers. Add the glittered flowers.
Attach gold textured paper or foil to an adhesive label (or sticker sheet) and diecut Gentle Bunny. I've used some gold Shizen Design paper from Impress. Cut two more bunnies from cardboard and layer them for dimension.
Wondering where the bunny's glittered green bow came from? It's cut with the fourth wildflower from the left (where the purple flower appears on the finished card). Trim the stem, then attach it to the bunny...and he's ready for Easter!
Stamp the greeting - from the Springtime Typewriter Sentiments Clear Stamp Set - on smooth white cardstock with Lilac Posies Memento Luxe. Emboss it with detail clear powder. Cut it with the smallest Rectangle Basics die.
Attach the greeting and bunny to the card. Add pale green gem stickers.
The wildflowers probably weren't designed to multi-task as bunny bows - but if it works, use it! Look at your Memory Box designs and think of new ways to use them. You'll be surprised at how versatile they are!
Thanks for visiting - see you next week...
