SC 074/13: A STAMPIN' UP! EASTER CARD

With only a few weeks until Easter is upon us, Sunny Challenges & Creations is running a challenge to make an Easter creation, based on this sketch:






Last year my friend Judy let me use her Everybunny stamp set, from Stampin' Up!, to stamp out a few images.  They've sat unloved for a long time, but one of the cute images was perfect for this challenge, so I had a bit of fun colouring it in and creating a card.  I consulted my Stampin' Up! Color Coach, and decided on a colour combination of Certainly Celery, Pink Pirouette and Soft Suede.

I have rotated the sketch, and taken a bit of liberty with placement of the sentiment .... and here's the end result:



Stamps: Everybunny, Wacky Wishes, Confetti
Card: Certainly Celery, Pink Pirouette, Watercolour Paper
Ink: Jet Black Staz-on inkpad, Certainly Celery, Pink Pirouette and Soft Suede stampin' pads
Other: Blender pens, Cloudy Day embossing folder, Itty Bitty shapes punch, Basic Pearls, XL Oval punch, Victoria Crochet trim, Pink Pirouette taffeta ribbon, sponge dauber, stampin' dimensionals, multipurpose liquid glue, glue dots
