Backsides and Frontsides

Hi!  I'm making Easter cards this year as I have a few not-yet-used items suitable for the occasion.  I'll start with the Cottage Cutz Bunny Backsides from one of last year's sales at Scrapping Cottage.

I see them as Easter bunnies, but I'm sure they could be used otherwise as well.  The set includes three different bunnies and the balloon.  I made extra bunnies and put together the rest of the card with supplies from my stash.  Everything was cut in white and then colored by brushing on inks.




Speaking of backsides, about two weeks ago we gave Sophie a bath prior to her spay surgery.  Her backside was so fluffy afterward I had to take a picture of it.



Her frontside wasn't as fluffy, but it was extra adorable as always.  She was a very good girl during her bath.  Love.




Because Easter is very much a spring occasion and my bunnies are being used for the first time, I'll send my card over to the following challenges:



 


I'm glad you could stop by today.  I'll see you again soon!

Those rainbow of bunnies is adorable, Leslie. Love the plaid and pretty daisies to go with them. Sophie is so beautiful. That face makes my heart melt. That's a lot of curl on her backside. :) xx

The bunny backsides are adorable and look sweet in your Easter colors. I love the flowers you added too! Cutest of all is Sophie - front or back, it doesn't matter. I love when you share her pictures!

What an adorable card with all those cute bunnies sitting together admiring the balloon! I think Easter is such a great time of the year! Love all the Spring colors!

Awww, what cute springtime bunnies. I like that little chocolate fella in the middle!
Sophie is a cutie patootie no matter which side she shares!

Adorable little rainbow bunnies, they are making me think of chocolate bunnies - I can't wait :)
Sophie is such a darling both front and back ♥
We have just installed a dog shower in our new garage, my two need more showers. We don't do it very often because the whole house gets sprayed with water when they shake :)

That rainbow of bunny backsides is adorable! And so of course is your Sophie!

Glenda said...

Just in time for Easter! I love those little bunnies! And then there is sweet Sophie...she is absolutely gorgeous and she is getting so big. I love that sweet face and just know you love her so much!

Marcia Hill said...

Awwwwwwwwww...your bunnies are just ADORABLE Leslie (especially the chocolate one!) and make for the sweetest card!! And Sophie...oh that sweet, sweet face! She is just as CUTE as can be! Please give her another hug from me!! :0)

Love those darling bunnies and so glad you showed em off in many colors. Sophie is such a cutie...I don't know how you get anything done.

This post is cuteness overload!! The rainbow of bunnies are so dang CUTE!! I die cut mine in all white like you and either color in or ink, so much easier then using different color scraps, to me at least. It's the cutest Easter card that will surely make anyone's day!! Then there is Sophie, OMG what a beautiful pup she is with all her fluff, I love her pretty color and her soulful eyes, I am so happy she brings you so much joy, when we got Mack I wasn't sure I could love him as much as I did Nellie but boy was I wrong he certainly stole my heart (and he knows it too), nothing like the love of a dog to make the day worthwhile!!

Oh, boy, just cuteness overload this morning on my screen, Leslie! Thank you for such a bright and happy start to my day and for linking to NBUS again! Your blended bunny backsides and single balloon - LOVE!! I'm dying to know what has them all so mesmerized!

And Sophie is a show-stopper! I don't know how one goes about modeling their dogs, but there must be a way! She is beyond gorgeous! I hope her surgery went well. Hugs, Darnell

I love these cotton tailed bunnies in spring colors! You inspired me with your Valentines cards. I didn’t make any or send them out! But now I already have some Easter cards that I will send out. It is a good feeling almost as good as making them.

Pauline said...

Oh these bunnies are so adorable. Love the rainbow colour as well as their little tails, so sweet. As for Sophie, she is so beautiful, such a sweet sweet face. Love the curly backside! Have a wonderful day Leslie!

Look at those darling bunny butts! LOve their little cotton tails, Leslie, and all the bright colors!
Yes, Sophie's is even fluffier, and I still can't get over how white she is! Gorgeous!

Your little line up of bunnies are darling in those sweet colors. What a cute, cute card! Sweet Sophie is beautiful with fluffy fur. She really is a pretty girl. I love her light coloring.

Bonnie said...

As pretty as a box of Easter Bunny Peeps, Leslie! Your inking is perfect and this is an adorable Easter card! Sophie's fluffy backside looks a bit like a giant bunny tail. She is such a pretty girl!

Conniecrafter said...

They are so very adorable, love that you did them in a rainbow of colors and that little balloon is just the cutest too, like the little scalloped border they are sitting on and your pretty flowers to go with them!

Our retriever mix we had when we were first married hair use to do that when we gave him a bath, she is just the sweetest!
