hippity hoppity

Hi friends!  It's been awhile since my last post.  Things have been pretty busy around here and I just haven't had much mojo to create new cards.  However, I did whip up a couple of Easter cards this past week.  The first one is made with predominately all Tim Holtz products.

I love this cottontail bunny!  The pattern paper is from the Wallflower collection and cut with a stitched oval die.  The new wildflower dies were colored with Distress Markers.  The black mat is embossed but it is hard to see.  I used the stitched border die to create a frame around the mat.  All edges were highlighted with Distress Ink.  A bit of cotton was added to the tail.  Hippity hoppity is from a set of Tim's sentiment stamps.

Next up is a card made from Pion Design's Easter Greetings collection.  I kept it fairly simple for my mother as she doesn't like a lot of frills on a card.

All papers and border strips are from the collection.  The leaf swirls are a Cheery Lynn die.  Crochet lace, flatback pearls, seam binding bow and Stickle accents are the finishing touches. 

Last, but not least, I end this post with a photo of my sweet grandson and his first visit to the Easter Bunny.  Thanks so much for stopping by and your kind comments.  Happy Easter to those who celebrate.
