Welcome Spring

 Hi Bloggers!  The title is more of an invitation than anything! Well, here's hoping at least!LOL  I just loved these cute bunnies, so sort of Beatrix Potter looking I think.  This is from my last shows using the Justrite stamp set called Welcome Spring.  With Easter right around the corner, I thought I should post of few of these for you to see.  I started with paper from the Teresa Collins paper pack in the aqua colour.  I used the script for the background piece then created a side border using the coordinating harlequin print. For the main focal element I used the coordinating zigzag border pattern and stamped my sentiment in the lower corner.  I added an edge of Iced Snow to this piece as an embellishment.  On a separate piece of coconut white card, I stamped both bunnies and the basket.  The basket stamp is empty but there are a few other stamps that can be used to fill it up.  I selected the floral stamp and added it to the basket.  I coloured all the pieces with Distress markers and cut them out by hand.(yes that is still done! LOL)  I always run a black marker around the edges when I hand cut which takes away that unsightly white edge.  I added some Diamond Sprinkles to the flower centres and to the pink bow on the bunny.  I cut a Gold Element Four die and inked it with an aqua Adirondack pad through the die.  I mounted it on foam in the middle of the card and added my basket and one of the bunnies.  I mounted the other bunny below it.  I added a messy bow tied from turquoise seam binding and an aqua Bakers Twine bow before adding a small pearl embellishment to the centre.  I added a double white mat to the card and finished it with Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue dots around the edge.  So sweet, isn't it!  Finished dimensions are
7 1/2" x 8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
