Easter Bunny Basket

Good morning, friends!  I've been meaning to share this card for about a month, and at last today is the day. :) I used a bunch of Pretty Pink Posh Easter products as well as several scraps I had leftover from other projects to create this card.  

During the last release I created a bunny basket tag (you can find it here), which was a lot of fun.  This time I decided to make a bunny in a basket. The timing is actually quite perfect now because we are starting to see bunnies hop around the neighborhood. 

I started by building a little bunny using pieces from the Easter Mug Additions Dies.  The little chick wings make perfect bunny paws. :) The only thing I hand cut were a few whiskers.  Next I die cut a basket using the Easter Basket Die.  I dressed it up with a layered bow using the bow from the Easter Mug Additions Dies on top of the slightly larger bow with tails in the Build a Gift Dies. 

Next, I stamped several flowers in the Spring Jar Stamp Set and cut them with the coordinating dies.  I tucked them around the bunny to fill the basket and added tulips and greenery from the Spring Foliage dies. To the center of the flowers I added tiny pearls in coordinating colors (light orchid, sunshine, and bubblegum). 

I needed something to ground the basket, so I used leftover flowers and leaves and added some of the darling stitched eggs from the Easter Mug Additions Dies.

The card base needed just a little something, so I decided (after a couple days of hemming and hawing) to create a plaid background to add some texture.  Atypical for me, I just sort of winged it.  I took two 4.25x5.5" white pieces of cardstock and cut one vertically in strips with varying widths and the other horizontally in strips with varying widths.  Then I just laid them down and wove a few of the pieces  in and out.  It was so fast!  Finally, I finished my card by building a sign with dies in the Easter Mug Additions and stamping a tiny greeting from the Spring Jar Stamp Set. 

Thank you for visiting today!  I hope you have a truly blessed Easter tomorrow!  May the joy of this special season fill your hearts with love and bring peace.
