Hi again! Sharing one of very few Easter cards I made this year. When I realized how I was struggling with them I decided to call it good enough. This stamp is not an Easter image but, hey, it's a bunny and it's a pretty thing with all the flowers. Add an Easter sentiment and it works, I think.
I watercolored with Twinkling H2O's, added sequins and a scalloped edge. There are dots of white acrylic paint in the flowers. A simple enough card, but the coloring took forever with the Twinks on such a detailed image.
Also, the bunny stamp is fresh out of the package so I'll join the rest of the NBUSers in Darnell's NBUS Challenge #37.
Thanks bunches for stopping by today. I'll see you again soon!

As always your card is gorgeous. I think sometimes I always say the same thing. The coloring is outstanding and I love the sentiment. Hoping you and yours have a lovely Easter!

ReplyDeleteI would say he makes an excellent Easter card, like you said especially with all the flowers, I bet the shimmer is so pretty in real life, love the gradient on your sentiment and so pretty with your soft papers, Gorgeous creation!

So pretty Leslie! You're doing better than me at getting Easter cards made! I got stuck at flowers! lol
ReplyDeleteOMGosh Leslie, this is gorgeous!! What a pretty bunny image, I have a few of these kind of stamps myself but have yet to use them (of course) but you have inspired me to get them out once I am home again! I love your design too, what a beautiful card it is!! (just pre-ordered four new Mintay pads at A Cherry On Top...enabling)...hah!!
ReplyDeleteOh Leslie, this is one of the sweetest, most beautiful Easter Bunnies I've seen in a while, your coloring truly brings this lovely image to life.
ReplyDeleteThe sentiment is a refreshing change from the most common "Happy Easter".
Beautifully done, my friend.
Stay healthy and safe.

Another adorable card, and it sure does work for Easter. I don't even make any Easter cards - shame on me!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome bunny! I love how you've colored it and the paper is a perfect match! Happy Easter, my friend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card! I love your bunny especially with the scalloped edge. We saw our first bunny yesterday which makes me feel like Spring is really here. First year I didn't make any Easter cards. I don't know where my days are going. Have a blessed Easter!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Leslie, love the bunny with all the pretty flowers! Your design layout is lovely, love the scallop edging and the Easter Joy completes your card!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Leslie! A cool Easter weekend here temps in the mid 40's but looks like the sun will shine. Thanks for sharing today, enjoy your day Leslie!
It looks like an Easter stamp to me, Leslie, and a beautiful one at that with all the colorful flowers. I love that die cut sentiment too. Thanks for sharing at NBUS.
ReplyDeletePrettiest Bunny Ever! It says Spring and Easter which I need since its been snowing and 25 degrees here in Utah.Thank you for continuing to grace us with your creativity and giving heart. 💗
ReplyDeleteyour little bunny nestled in the flowers is so adorable and so perfect for Easter. I bet he looks so sparkly in his Twinkling H2O's :)
ReplyDeleteStunning colours design and creativity, love the bunny ♥
ReplyDeleteLeslie, he is so very handsome! What a gorgeous image - it must have been so much fun to color even if it did take forever!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!

I am not sure that Easter bunnies are any more special than ordinary bunnies and your is surrounded by wonderful flowers, which are very spring like so I think he works well. a lovely card. I rarely make Easter cards either. I only do them for my daughters and then only if I don't see them. I saw them both yesterday so I am let off this year! Can you tell, I have been struggling with my mojo recently? xx
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous! Wonderful design. Thanks for sharing with us at Double "D" Challenge.

ReplyDeleteI think this is a perfectly beautiful bunny and a great Easter card. All the loveliness speaks hope to my spirit! I really love everything about it. The scalloped edge, delicious colors and detailed flowers make this a winner in my book!

ReplyDeleteHi Lesley and thank you for your comment on Hollies card -not sure if it is how I worded it but after reading a couple of the comments I have to say the pics are not Hollie lol they are of the singer Yung Blud who she is a big fan of-but she did dress up for the concert!
