EASTER BUNNIES & BUTTERFLIES

Hello :o)

The Easter cards are coming!

Starting with 2 cards in the same layout, with a couple small changes - background color and sentiment font. 

I have always loved the presentation and stamps in this set and have never used them! It is an old wood mounted red rubber set by Dream Impressions that came in a white preprinted cardboard checkbook style box.

TECHNIQUES

direct stamping with colored inks  (rabbit, basket of flowers)

colored pencil  ( " )

low profile foam mounting  ( " )

die cutting  (oval, grass, butterflies, clouds*)

dry embossing  (background panel)

heat embossing  (sentiment)

flat back gems

* I die cut the clouds from scrap paper, used removable tape to adhere them to the oval, blended ink over them, and then threw them away LOL
