Happy Easter

Good Sunday morning all!  Happy Easter too!  I made this card a few years ago and forgot that I had it and hadn't posted it until now.  Since it is Easter, I thought I should give it a day on the blog this year!  I really like the fact that it is cute, but not over the top at all, very earthy in fact.  I used the Honeycomb embossing folder on some kraft card to give texture to my background.  Next I added a strip of decorative paper from my stash and added a couple of Becca Feekens Heirloom Flourish one die edges to the bottom before tying a piece of natural jute around it.  I stamped my sentiment in blue and cut it by hand into a tag shape and added it to the jute bow.  I added some free hand stitching around the edge with a blue ink pen.  For the focal element, I cut two sizes of Gold Labels Four and inked them with Antique Linen while still in the die.  I stamped the Justrite Easter bunny from the Welcome Spring stamp set in Cobalt blue archival ink and cut it out with the matching Nested Cloud die.  I stamped the bunny in brown and hand cut it and layered it up with foam in the centre for dimensions. I used a wash of distress ink to paint the bunny and ribbon border.   I finished with a double milk mat with a pierced inner layer.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  8" in size.
