Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I’m so glad to be back with this new Easter card featuring a cute bunny in a hot air carrot balloon I built using a large variety of dies from different sets. I’m happy when I can mix and match my sets!
I started off with the card base and cut a large Slimline Peekaboo Windows panel out of kraft cardstock. I created a cloud background using one of the Spooky Sky stencils along with white pigment ink, and added a little bit of vintage photo distress ink to the edges. I mixed some of that same ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. I cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches panel out of brown woodgrain cardstock, added vintage photo distress ink to the edges, attached that panel to a card base, and then my cloudy kraft panel on top using liquid glue.
Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock and pattern papers. I added a bit of matching distress ink to each colored cardstock piece and then white splatters to all the elements, and once everything was dry, I attached them all to my panel using foam squares mostly to add dimension to my scene, as well as liquid glue at some places.
As always, here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Carrot Shaker – largest carrot • Fall Basket – basket • Party Balloons – strings • Bunny Holder – bunny • Valentine Holder Additions – heart cheeks • Easter Mug Additions – eyebrows, bow (on the bunny), large carrots • Easter Bucket Additions – large bow, daisies, medium carrots • Big Easter Cupcake – small carrots, bunny paws • Beautiful Bows – medium bows • Easter Holder Additions – small bows.
I applied glossy accents to the bunny’s nose, gave him a pair of wiggly eyes, and added a heart in the center of each bow from the Valentine Hearts clay confetti mix and Colorful Hearts clay confetti mix. For my greetings, I white heat embossed “Hoppy Easter” from Easter Greetings on pink cardstock and cut it using the matching die. I also white heat embossed “Somebunny loves you” from Sentiment Strips: Easter on the same pink cardstock and trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die. I applied matching distress ink to the edges of both greetings, and finally attached them to my card using foam squares.
And that’s it! I hope that this lovely Easter card inspires you to try and see further than the typical use of a die set. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
