Springy bunny birthday easel card.

Good morning fellow bloggers,

I think it is JUST morning. Was up bright and early to do this post, but I felt I ought to do something about my craft room, it was bleeding all over the house!!!!!! Anyway, problem rectified, bleeding controlled and now for my favourite thing, crafting.

Today's is in keeping with the season, which, I have to keep reminding myself, is SPRING. How many people had hailstones yesterday, unbelievable. I digress.

The easel card is back. Haven't done one for a few posts and it is one of my favourite shapes. I think the rocker card may have knocked it off the top spot. The digital design is a clipartfairy creation, from the wee bunnies cupcake collection. I love the colours, definitely springy :) All the images are finished to a high quality and can be imported into most graphics programmes. I used MCS Professional for this one.

The backing paper for this design was a freebie, again from clipartfairy, can you tell I'm a fan. The shapes were all cut out and  glittered around the edges before being layered using mounting foam. They're not spellbinder shapes, they've been layered in a graphics program using puches. If you notice, the outer edges are different to the centre. These came ready done, but I've now learnt how to do it in CraftArtist Pro.

The image was also mounted with foam, after first curving it to add some dimension. I didn't bother decoupaging this one, I didn't think it needed it. It was finished with some card candy, a bow and some of my flowers,  I don't seem to be making much of a hole in them,(see my very first post) The ribbon is wired. I wasn't sure about using wired ribbon at first, but I quite like it now. The bow keeps its shape. It doesn't suit all cards though.

I always like to make a matching box for my big cards.  Would hate for all the embellies to get squished and flattened. I had to do plain white ones before I got my A3 printer, but now I can do patterned ones to match the card.  

Thanks for dropping by, enjoy your Sunday, n see you soon.
