This week's Special Offer is 'Dark Moss Green' a fab quality 300gsm card and you can grab a small box of A4 for just £4-05 (that's 50% off). Lisa has created an elegant traditional Easter card with the Dark Moss Green.
I have a Tutorial for a Shaker Card over on the Papermill Inspire Blog today (Link Here), but first I would like to share this Easter Bunny card. I had originally planned to cut the Bunny using my Cricut Explore but had a few issues with technology & internet and had to resort to Plan B, which involved using templates and cutting it by hand. It took a little longer but was quite relaxing and fun to do.
The Bunny Head is a PDF pattern from 'My Scrap Chick' it was printed off , cut out and used to create the templates for the Bunny Head. I layered and assembled using 3D foam pads to give height and definition.
I cut the grass randomly with scissors and attached across the front of the card, only sticking along the bottom edge so I could slip the Easter Eggs behind it and adjust positioning. The eggs have been die cut using nesting easter egg shaped dies and then embossed with 3 different embossing folders.
Distress inks were used in colours to match the Papermilldirect cards to ink around the cut edges and also across the raised embossing to bring out the designs, a subtle way to enhance embossing.
A greeting of 'Happy Easter' has been stamped in black archival ink using a 'Clearly Besotted' Stamp set. Ric-Rac and die cut border trims have been used to decorate the eggs, you could go wild here but I kept it restrained :D
Extra details have been added to the bunny head with a black fine liner pen and a white Pergamano pen, I think these really help bring the character to life.
