A Little Bit of Easter

Hello friends.  Just a fun post today playing with some new goodies and getting ready for Easter.  And Spring!  I've seen my first Robin and we've been having lots of sunshine lately, so it definitely makes me feel like celebrating!!

First up is a card that uses some Pinkfresh Studio products and a sweet bunny die cut from Tim Holtz that my sweet friend Birgit gifted me with last year, and I'm finally getting around to using!!

I started by making my background using the Argyle Stencil from Pinkfresh Studio, and then layered it onto a white Postal Frames Die cut from The Greetery.  The wreath is also from Pinkfresh Studio (Overlapping Leafy Wreath) stencil and a little hard to see but done with 4 different green inks.  I added foam squares behind the wreath for some dimension and then added the bunny die cut (Tim Holtz) that I also sponged some Soft Suede ink around the edges of.  My sentiment (The Greetery) was embossed onto vellum , and I finished the card with a few green gems added to the wreath and some white crochet thread.

This card uses all stamps and dies from The Greetery including the new Bunny Hop stamp & stencil set.  I was so inspired by Kelly Lunceford and Heather Nichol's beautiful cards during this past release...Kelly used the Square Dance Stencil as backgrounds for so many of her Easter cards and of course Heather's use of Kraft and white always inspired me!  I also used the new Crimped Circle Dies and also the BotaniCuts: Carrots (LOVE these carrots!)

 I made like a bajillion carrots, so of course I made a couple tags to attach to our grandbabies Easter baskets.  Used the Window Paine Plaid background stamp for the tag backgrounds, and also added a little bunny to each from the Bunny Hop stamp set.  

I told ya I made like a bajillion carrots, so I used some of them up on a new Easter banner and I just love how this turned out!!  I made each of the pennants from a quarter piece of kraft and dsp and then decorated simply with the Window Paine Plaid background stamp on the 3 kraft pennants, and then simply added the carrots and bunnies to each one.  Here's a closer up view of 3 of the pennants...

This is one of those times when I really, REALLY wish I had a fireplace to hang this sweet banner from, but made do with a large framed mirror we have in our hallway, and it does look pretty good there!  

Edited to add:  Entering my 2nd card into the Inspired By Challenge where I was inspired by the bunnies and Easter theme.

Thanks for sticking with me this long and letting me share some of my latest creations!  Hope this Spring like weather we've been having has inspired you to get creative too!!  :0)
