Bunny on a Swing

Hello there!  I've got bunnies on my mind with the arrival of spring, and Easter not too far off.  I stamped a few that I haven't used yet, just coloring and making cards for the fun of it.  It won't be a bunny a day, but they'll make an appearance here and there.  I also stamped a whole set of Penny Black flowers from last spring.  I'm staying focused...

First, an Inky Antics bunny that's been waiting since last spring.



Doesn't he look happy?  Stamped on Neenah and colored with Copics.  The card base is covered with an embossed panel smooshed with white ink, and a bit of some BasicGrey designer paper scraps I'm trying to finish off.  I'm so close, just a few small scraps left.  Rather than die cut the bunny panel I rounded the corners with punches -- regular rounded on the top, decorative on the bottom.  I like how that worked out!



Playing along here:

Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #489 -- Any occasion.  I'm definitely addicted to stamps and more, and happy to be playing along in this challenge for the first time.
The Sisterhood of Crafters -- Shades of Green.  I made sure to use plenty of green because bunnies love green (don't they?)
NBUS Challenge #72 -- Never before used schtuff.  That's my bunny!


  



This was fun!  Thanks for indulging me.  Have a happy spring day!
