Easter Bunny Card

Hello crafters! My Easter decor is out and I was inspired to make an Easter card today.

The bright yellows and greens of spring are just wonderful, especially after the long winter. Here I used the Simon Says Stamp Everlasting Flowers embossing folder for the background together with a fun debossed resist technique. The folder and the Little Bows die set are both from the new In My Heart release.

Start by inking the Everlasting Flowers embossing folder with Simon Says Stamp Clear Emboss ink. Place watercolor paper in the folder and emboss. We are using the debossed side. Cover with white embossing powder. Remove the excess and melt. Be careful when using a heat tool and do not touch the powder until it has cooled down completely.

Mist the background with Distress Spray Stain, starting with Squeezed Lemonade. Add just a little Mermaid Lagoon. Next, mist with Distress Spritz Twisted Citron, for glimmer. 

I had some left-over collage paper and die cut three butterflies and one bunny from Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Hippity Hop. You can see how I made that paper in this post.

Paint them with Distress Paint.

I die cut more butterflies. The collage paper butterflies were die cut again from Simon Says Stamp Lemon Glitter Cardstock and placed underneath the collage butterflies. I also die cut tiny butterflies from Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Boutique, from glitter cardstock and from left-over pink inky cardstock.

Bend the wings of the butterflies and let them flutter across the page. 

For the sentiment I die cut a Simon Says Stamp Petal-Tipped Label and stamped a sentiment from Hoppy Spring on top. The bows were die cut from glitter paper using Simon Says Stamp Little Bows.

I die cut the bunny one more time from brown cardstock and off-set slightly. The bunny also got a little bow. 

The deboss resist technique gives a great textured look. Don't worry if you don't get a perfect result, that is part of the fun with the technique.

This little corner of blue is one of my favorite parts of this card.

For another background technique using this same Everlasting Flowers folder, check out this tutorial of mine.

See you again tomorrow!

Happy crafting!
