Bunny and Easter Eggs Punch Art Trifold Card

Instructions for the 3D bunny figurine (made from a plastic Easter egg!)
are posted on my blog here:










I used several punches from Stampin' Up! to make this card.
Almost all of the other supplies (many of which are now retired)
were from Stampin' Up! as well.


SUPPLIES:
Extra Large Oval for body -1
Small Oval for ears - 2
Modern Label for paws - 2
1/8" Circle punch for eyes - 2
3/4" x 15/16" Oval punch for eggs
Lace Ribbon Border punch for daffodils (I reused the tiny pieces that fell out when I made the repurposed jar= flower vase project)
hand cut a teeny tiny piece of pink for the bunny's nose

Whisper White card base is 12" x 5 1/4"; score along the 12" side at 4" and 8". 

Sponge Bashful Blue ink over a cloud stencil ( I made my own, freehand cut from a piece of heavyweight drafting vellum) to create the sky.

Tear green card stock to create the hills. When you glue them down, be sure to leave a little bit of the top edges unglued so you can slide the eggs behind them. The green I used was textured with a white core. 

Punch various colors of card stock to create the eggs. I used retired colors from Stampin' Up! Barely Banana, Pretty In Pink, Mauve Mist, Bliss Blue, Certainly Celery, Lavender Lace. Stamp E A S T E R  (I used the All Around Alphabet set, Stampin' Up!).  Let dry well then add glitter ( I used an unknown glitter, should have used Dazzling Diamonds from Stampin' Up!). 

Stamp "Happy" from the Happy Everything stamp set, Stampin' Up! I used Lovely Lilac ink on Barely Banana card stock, added a little bit of clear drying liquid glue sprinkled with glitter around the edges.

Assemble the bunny, add details with a marker, sponged inks, white gel pen . 

A Daffodil Delight marker (Stampin' Up!) adds a touch of color to the centers of the teeny tiny flowers. Carefully glue them to the green card stock. 


April 5th   EDITED TO ADD:  I received an invite to enter this card in the first challenge (2TC1) at a new blog, Twisted Tuesday Challenges. I've not done a challenge on a blog before ! I think I have all the steps figured out, keeping fingers crossed that this edit and the links I submit work...................

Challenge details:
THE CHALLENGE
