I haven't had the opportunity to play along with Mary Jo's Monday Technostamper's Lunchtime Challenge for a LONG time! I loved her sketch this week, so I grabbed another Easter set, Everybunny, and played along!

Here's my take on her sketch. I used the same Designer Paper and colors as my card on Monday!

Here are the details:

The base card is 4 1/4 x 11 of Primrose Petals, folded in half.
The Birds of a Feather pattern is 3 x 5 1/2 and adhered towards the left side.
The balloon bunny from Everybunny was stamped with Black Stazon on Whisper White and watercolored with Summer Starfruit, Island Indigo, Primrose Petals, Crumb Cake and Chocolate Chip Markers. The bunny is Crumb Cake and the basket is Chocolate Chip.
I used the Oval Framelits to cut the Whisper White and Summer Starfruit ovals, then pierced around the larger one.
Happy Easter is stamped with Island Indigo on Whisper White and punched with the Modern Label punch, then layered on a 1 1/4" Circle of Island Indigo and the Crumb Cake Decorative Label punch. I tucked it up partially under the Ovals and added two Itty Bitty flower punches with Pearls on the bottom right side.
I added more Itty Bitty flower punches with Pearls from the bunnies hand floating thru the air…lol!

Again a really fun Easter card! Hope you enjoy it!

We have a fun, new color challenge for you to play along with this week over on Create with Connie and Mary! Grab your stamps and play along!

Of course, I grabbed Everybunny to play along with these colors. As I've said before, these little bunnies are just TOO cute and I love watercoloring them!

I also used my favorite Label Framelits. I'm sure hoping that Stampin' Up! puts a BUNCH of these in the new catalog! I love them! This one was cut from Very Vanilla. I stamped the girl bunny with Black Stazon and watercolored her with my AquaPainter and Stampin' Write Markers. I added a Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon bow, held together with the Sale-A-Bration brad. The base of the card is Whisper White and I layered on Pool Party that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Petals A Plenty folder. Each of the centers of the flowers were highlighted with the White Gel Pen. I cut a piece of the Everyday Enchantment SAB Designer Paper and layered it on Peach Parfait cardstock. Then cut a pennant of Lucky Limeade and stamped Happy Easter from Stampin' Up!'s Delightful Dozen stamp set. The Label Framelit is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Make sure to check out what the rest of the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge Team did this week! Some great ideas over there!!

Everybunny again!

Sorry, my stamping has been seriously curtailed with other things going on in my life. My cabinets are ordered and should be here next month. My flooring goes down in TWO weeks. I need to get everything off the walls and out of the room by then so we can patch and paint before it is installed. I settled on the old SU color Mellow Moss for my walls! I wanted Pear Pizzazz, but it just wasn't going with the stain on the cabinets…made them look too orangey. My son and his wife were here for the long weekend and we had a wonderful time visiting with them. I also am finishing up prototypes for wedding invitations I'm making for friends…was supposed to be a small wedding…75-80…that has grown to over 200! Of course, my taxes aren't done either.

You can see my list again here…HUGE RETIRED STAMP SALE!!! I'll be adding more sets and accessories as I work thru the piles of stuff I have. Thank you to everyone so far that has helped me clear off my shelves of retired stamp sets!!!

But…enough of me…

Stampin' Up!'s stamp set, Everybunny, has seriously replaced my old favorite Easter set, A Good Egg. I love the expressions on these bunnies. Here is another Easter card I made while I was on the retreat! My girlfriend had challenged me to use this image with the hot air "egg"…I hadn't used it yet.

I started with a base card of Pear Pizzazz. I ran the layer of Bashful Blue thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots folder. I added the "ground" from the In Color Patterns Designer Paper, cutting it with my Cutter Kit blade. I stamped the hot air balloon bunny in Black Stazon and watercolored with my AquaPainter and Stampin' Write Markers, then cut it out. What a pain to cut all those strings! lol! I popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, had the bunny throwing flowers out of the basket…I used the tiny Mini Brads in the center of the Itty Bitty Punch flowers, curling them outwards. I stamped Happy Easter Everybunny in Black Stazon on Whisper White and punched with the Modern Label punch.

Love how whimsical this card is…maybe will do a few more to send to my parents and in-laws for Easter.

Oh, we have a fun color challenge for you this week over on Create with Connie and Mary! Wonderful SPRING colors…So Saffron, Wild Wasabi and Island Indigo! We've had such mild weather, it feels like spring around here…another sunny day…very unusual for Ohio in February!

When I first saw this set in the main catalog last summer, it was on my first order…even though I knew I wouldn't use it for MONTHS yet. It is just too cute! I have some wonderful pictures of the boys coloring Easter eggs when they were little…some day I will get them scrapbooked! lol!

For this card, I wanted to try something with the Framelits. Can you tell that is what I used along the bottom of the So Saffron layer? I used the largest one and put the 4" wide So Saffron cardstock in under the cutting blade, and the other end on top of the Framelit. Then I only ran it thru far enough to cut the bottom…not all the way…I just reversed and pulled it back out. That way I got just the cut on one end. Did anyone else think of that? I haven't seen it!

My base is Whisper White. I layered on the So Saffron that was cut with the Label Framelit and embossed with Snow Burst (this is still available to order!). I added a strip of Wild Wasabi Just Add Cake Designer Paper, layered on Island Indigo cardstock and wrapped the Island Indigo Ruffled Ribbon around and tied a knot.

I stamped Miss Bunny with Black Stazon, then watercolored with my AquaPainter and Stampin' Write Markers. I did add a little Crumb Cake color for the bunny…she couldn't be yellow or green or blue, now could she? I used one of the smaller Label Framelits to cut her out and attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, I stamped Happy Easter, Everybunny, in Black Stazon and punched with the Modern Label punch (I love how it coordinates!), then used a little clip to hold it in place at the top of the So Saffron layer!

Make sure to check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week over on Create with Connie and Mary...as usual, I'm always inspired by their creations!
