Who doesn’t love an adorable bunny card at Easter? You can make your own in this week’s On the CASE with Ann & Nicole!
While I continue to break down samples from current Stampin’ Up!® catalogs, my On the CASE partner, Nicole, is using her investigative skills to solve CASES throughout the crafting universe. Let the fun begin!
Bunny Easter Card
Occasions Catalog Page 27
While absolutely adorable, I really didn’t have a need for this Easter basket. However, I did need an Easter card to send to my son, Brady. Even at the age of 30, he loves “cute”, and I knew he would love a Bunny Easter card. So I set off to create one using this basket as my inspiration.
Now this poor little card has been through the mill. Unfortunately it was the victim of a canine card attack. It seems a certain little someone has a thing about ribbons, and I guess the Calypso Coral ribbon was calling his name.
Don’t let this innocent face fool you…
GQ is indeed guilty. So if you notice a few ripples at the bottom of the watercolored panel, it’s because I cut it off the original card, ironed it, reused it and recreated everything else. I wished I would have snapped a few pictures of GQ’s distressing technique. I’m sure there is a lesson to be learned. I hope you enjoy today’s card!
