Easter cards...

With Easter at the end of this week, I have spent the last couple of evenings making my easter cards for this year - nothing quite like leaving it to the last minute is there!

I've had this idea in my head for a card, since I saw the qute rabbit recently, and am quite pleased with how it has come out. The Rabbit was cut on the craft robo, but making the topper was more fiddly than I thought it would be but the layered effect was worth it. To add a bit of dimension to the card I have put 3d foam pads on the back of the rabbit before putting it onto the pink square. The embossing was done on the cuttlebug with the 'daisy' folder. I'd like to enter it into this weeks Crafty Catz Challenge - which was to use white and one other colour.



This is another Easter card I made using some 3d chipboard letters that I bought a while ago in Poundland. The card is the second attempt at using the letters, as my first idea didn't really go to plan, so I had to think of another way to used the letters. Really pleased with how this card has come out.
