Easter Bunnies Four

 

It's funny...I saw this design at my local craft store and loved the bunnies dies and the design so much, I made my own. What's funny is I'm seeing real bunnies everywhere this week as I'm driving around town. And just in time for Easter.

After die cutting out the bunnies I edged them with Distress Ink - Vintage, added some Glossy Accents to add cotton tail and the black eyes.

Circles where die cut with spellbinder circles...then used the punched out circle as a background for each bunny.

The background stamped with a random dot stamp, and the background embossed with the dot folder.

The grass is actually an icicle die cut twice.

Stamped sentiment.

Blossom Corners

As much as I love this card, the die gave me a lot of troubles getting a good cut. It took me 16x thru the machine, nearly busting it with shims to get it to cut in the center. I bought the die just to do this type of card. So I was determined to get it cut.
Update: New die received and it cuts like a charm, a couple shims right in the center of this intricate design is required when using the Cuttlebug.  Nice crisp cut!

The video for this card is here

 

I wrote to Heartfelt Creations and we talked about the problem and they graciously have sent a replacement die. I just received it and anticipate giving it a go this weekend. I am very happy with their eagerness to help and for the replacement. Gotta love a company that shows love for their customers. I love their videos too....beautiful! I even got a reply to a question I posted on a video....don't see that very often!! Awww and their stamps...I'm in love! Hope SSS gets a hold of them...all of them, in the near future.

 

 

Simple embellishments is all you need for this type of card. The center flower is from Wendy Vicci, and is ceramic. The sentiment computer generated on vellum paper.
