Easter cards for the grands

It appears that over the years I have used up most

of my Easter stuff for cards.

Since I have limited space I try real hard to 

use what I have differently.

Below is actually a stamp set for a birthday card

yet there's a bunny in the basket.

So for the older kidlets - I used some QK dies,

fussy cut the stamps

and made backgrounds from distressed inks.

And the inside - A cover up was necessary since I

somehow got ink all over the green part.

So white dots from those little black daubers

and the bunny ears from TH.

I had leftover clouds sooo.....

Then the little guy needed a card his age and

fortunately for me I had leftover Easter

papers from last year.

Had some fussy cutting going on.

Violet designs (papers)

And I made the inside sort of the same w/o the background

fiasco - Love those painted dots.

Some more fussy cutting and some bunny ears.

Who doesn't love bunny ears.

 

The making of Olivers for Easter Cards

There are a lot of moving parts on this baby so

trying to keep track was seriously tough.

They tend to wander off no matter how careful I am.

I also decided to just go for it in making 10 Olivers for 

the grands Easter cards....

So I picked the brightest colors I had and die cut out 20.

Why you might ask,

well....

there are alot of parts and itty bitty parts so just

in case I had two.

And carefully piling them in a small bowl in order

to keep the pile piled which gave it

a real good chance that all the parts would be there

by 2's just in case.

One can only hope.

And then you have to bold, if not daring, and just lay it all out.

On a table.

Near an open window.

I did leave the really really tiny parts in the dish.

And since I decided to use whatever color caught my fancy

in putting together the bunnies.

Yup them babies are mutli-colored.

It was kinda fun, but I found I used the colors I really

liked and ran out of parts in order to 

roll the colors across the board.

Like so.........

That grass patch cracks me up and it reminds me of a skateboard.

LOL.

So wild colored bunnies needed wild colored backgrounds,

obviously not thinking it through but they looked good

when I tried them out as they were premade.

A few days before I played around with inks

and oxides and decided why not.

So I did.

HOWEVER, WHEN I BOUGHT OLIVER I ALSO BOUGHT

THE BASKET WEAVE EMBOSSING FOLDER

AND DID I REMEMBER TO USE IT???

Why NO, no I didn't 😐
