Easter Workshop!

So it's the time of year when the Easter Bunny gets to dust off her outfit again!
 
 
I was so looking for the excuse to use the new Cloudy Day embossing folder from the new Spring/Summer Mini, so thought we could have a little fun with Punch Art for a bit of March Madness at Llandrindod Wells Card club last Sunday.
 
 
Just as I was leaving the house for the workshop I was concerned that perhaps my workshop was too Bunny based, so thought I would also offer an Easter chick too :-)
 
 
And this was the Bunny box that we made from the Top Note Big Shot Die, I have really enjoyed doing this punch art as it's a bit like making puppets, the character pops put when the face appears, just perfect for a Mini Lindt bunny and a small bag of mini eggs ;-)
 
And so to finish the workshop I wanted to show a simple and more importantly quick card using the matching Secret Garden stamp set and dies that allow us all to use the scraps of card that seem to be accumulating in my house at least ;-) so used the Birthday card from my previous post and took this sample along to show a different approach to the same project.
 
 
 So with this watercolour effect I have used clear emboss again for the outline flowers, background stamping the images underneath too. I used Certain Celery for the leaves, Baja Breeze, Rose Red and Perfect plum with Aqua painters for the flowers and then Baja Breeze for the butterfly from Papillion Potpourri on vellum with matching punch, and Rhinestones for the flower centres and butterfly body.

Keep on crafting, Easter will be here before you know it! Gen xxx
