IM274 – Easter Bunny

Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenges. We have some Easter cookies to inspire you. Don’t they look yummy?

EASTER BUNNY

Yep…this week was kind of obvious for me to use the Easter Bunny Bundle. But…I did go a little different direction by using brighter colors! Stampin’ Up! just doesn’t have a true pastel pink color. I keep hoping! Both Petal Pink and Blushing Bride have too much brown in them for a true pink.

Stampin’ Details:

- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White was embossed with the Online Exclusives, crosshatch Basics 3D Embossing Folder, then cut with the Radiating Stitches Die. It was adhered to the front.
- The bunnies were punched from two patterns in the Flowers & More Designer Paper (Host).
- The greeting was stamped with Polished Pink Ink on Basic White cardstock, then cut with the Something Fancy Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The bunnies were then added slightly over the label.
- The flower clusters were stamped with Memento Black Ink, the colored with Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Blends. They were hand-cut and added to the bunnies with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two pink In Color Opal Rounds were added to the label.

So much fun! I love how this turned out! OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
