February Papertrey Ink Blog Hop . . . and Make It Monday Challenge

I loved Laurie Schmidlin’s Make It Monday post this week where she shared three cards with framed sentiments. When I looked at the February Blog Hop Challenge, I thought I could combine the two challenges. Here’s the cute photo inspiration for the blog hop; just perfect for an Easter card.

I love the glass bunny at the top of this table decoration, and thought I might be able to recreate that with vellum, but it just didn’t work well. In the end, I used a piece of polka-dot vellum over a white bunny with the eye dotted with a Sakura Glaze black pen.

I used the same dies Laurie used for her first card on MIM, from the “A2 Scalloped” die set. The bunny, eggs, and flowers are all from the “Bunny Blessing” set. The flowers were die cut from some watercolored scraps in my scrap box, and the eggs stamped with Hawaiian Shores, Raspberry Fizz, and Bright Buttercup. The grass is a Jolee’s product that I luckily had in my stash.

I didn’t have a pom-pom small enough for the bunny’s tail so I trimmed a larger one. It’s a little fluffier, but it looks like it will hold up. 

The last addition was a few rainstones. Off to link up with Make It Monday, and to check out all the inspiration at Papertrey Ink’s blog hop.
