She would like to see you make cards without patterned paper!!....Kind of scary isn't it?....I was amazed though at how easy and fun it actually is!!....I've had the flower I used on this card for almost a year.....I thought it was so Cute when I bought it ...but discovered it lost most of its shine on a busier type of card....here though...I think it looks great!!

The Cute Bunny I've used for this card is from High Hopes recent HOTP stamps and is called "Bunny with Gift". The sentiment is called "Dot Happy Easter" and is from an older release.

I used the SC219 sketch to make this card and colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils (oms) and Twinkling h20's.

The Bunny panel and the sentiment are both raised with foam pop ups.

I used scribbles, velvet flock and glitter on the Bunny tail and under his neck. I also used glitter on a few placed on the egg. Although it is hard to see..there is diamond glaze on the Bunny's nose and teeth.

"Happy Easter" - High Hopes Challenge #20

I'm a little late for the High Hopes Challenge #20...but I just had to try my hand at "That Fuzzy Feeling". This fun challenge is brought to you this week by the very talented Jeanne!! Be sure to go to the High Hopes Challenge blog to see the Gorgeous DT work and join in for a chance to win some Fabulous High Hopes stamps.

The Cute High Hopes Bunny I used for this card is called "Posing Bunny" The sentiment is computer generated and SU Itty Bitty Backgrounds on the Wild Wasabi paper.

The bunny is colored with prismacolor pencils (oms) and twinkling h20's.

For the fuzzy feeling I've scribbled on shiny white scribbles on the tail and part under his neck ...and then added white velvet flock. I also used colorful fibres threaded through the holes in the scallops. I've added glitter to the inside of the ears.

The scalloped background, bunny panel and the sentiment are all popped up with foam dots.

Ink - versafine black, bashful blue, bordering blue, old olive, creamy caramel, garden green

Papers - GP white, k&company, wild wasabi, blue bayou

Accessories - brad, flowers, lace velvet flock, fibres, scribbles, scallop punch, glitter, Martha Stewart fern punch.

It has actually been warming up here a little. But I understand snow is on its way. Winter is far from over in this part of the country.

We visited our daughter Trina over the weekend. We had a great time .....did a little shopping and even played some Wii Sports. In fact we even bought one on sale while we were down there. My hubby really likes the golfing.....and I really kicked butt with the boxing ...lol....Lots of fun!!

Thanks for looking everyone!... and for all your Wonderful comments!!!

The cute flower trim was given to me by one of my daughters...and although you can hardly tell....every fourth flower I have placed a little pearl on. This who panel was popped up again over the other layers.

The little eggs are colored glittered a bit and popped up.

I originally thought this paper from Debbie Mum (girls pak) might look too kiddish but it also reminded me of spring and Easter so used it anyway.

Hey! Chicky!

Thank you all So Much for all your kind words and Congratulating me for being on the Magnolia Design Team!! You all really made my Day!!!....How lucky can a gal get.......Big Hugs to all of you!!

I can't complain too much about the weather. These last few days have been very pleasant. So nice that we went to visit my daughter Trina over the weekend. We went shopping to every place that sold stamp and scrapbook things in Estevan. What a great time we had.....Trina and I did anyway.....don't know too much about the hubby's though. It's kind of funny how they always look so worried when Trina and I go shopping....lol....I can hardly wait to get together with her again....

On with the card.

This cute little Chicky is called "Easter Chickadee" and is from High Hopes Rubber Stamps I used diamond glaze on both bows and beak of the chick...glitter on the flowers and lace on the collar. The image and sentiment is popped up.

"Easter Chickadee" is colored with Prismacolor pencils (OMS) and H20's to deepen the shading.

Stamps: High Hopes Stamps (Easter Chickadee), Karen Foster snap stamps

Paper: whisper white, Michael's, Provo craft slab

***Many people have asked me about the coloring ...I have tried to answer as many as I could ...but some people who comment don't have their profile available to the public so I could not get their email addresses........I am planning to have a tutorial up within the next month..so hopefully that will answer a lot of your questions***

***Magnolia Stamps***

I've also had quite a few people ask me where they can get Magnolia stamps. Phebe from The Town Scrapper in Canada is the gal to email. I will put her link up on the bar....but you may also just click on here - The Town Scrapper. She will ship to US as well. Other than that I you can click on Magnolia on my side bar (where it states I am a design team member) I believe they will ship internationally***

Thank you all for looking and your Wonderful comments!! Have a Great Day Everyone!!!
