Happy Easter

Creatively, I don't think I'm very good at making cards for young kids, and Easter is no exception. But I'm happy with the way this one turned out.  I knew I wanted to use rabbits and luckily I have a bunch of these little rabbits already die-cut.

I started with a white cardstock card base and placed this light blue paper on it. Next, I placed the fence toward the bottom of the card and added the grass, die-cut with a border punch. I picked out three rabbits and edged around them with Tea Dye ink. I tied ribbon around each of their necks, placed a pompom on their tails and adhered them with foam tape.

The eggs are die-cut in green, yellow and purple and stamped with coordinating inks. I just received my Retro Style dies in the mail from PTI and they came in handy to help personalize the card. The post is cut in Kraft cardstock and I added green, yellow and purple for the signs, stamping the sentiment in black ink.

To complete the card I added the clouds, die-cut in a textured, white paper.
