Happy Easter!

This Easter stamp set is called Everybunny and the images are great for colouring. At club last week we used the watercolour pencils with the blender pens which gave a soft subtle look.

The bunny image was stamped twice and the eggshell was cut out and layered on top to give a 3D look. The white strip of card was embossed in the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka embossing folder. The Happy Easter greeting is from the Easter Blossoms stamp set.

The pretty flowers were punched from the Itty Bitty punch set.

This cute Lindt bunny is peeking out from a carton, which was simply cut using the Big Shot and the Milk Carton die. The framed window was punched using the Large Oval Punch and the Scallop Oval Punch.

Supplies Used:

Stamp Sets: Everybunny, Easter Blossoms

Card/Ink: Pool Party, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Crumb Cake
