Easter is typically visualized in happy springtime pastels. But sometimes a sparkly Easter bunny fits the bill!

Let’s get Started:

Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25

Green Border Layer: 4.25 x 4.25

Card Face:  4 x 4

Card Face:

• I positioned the stencil on the card face, securing it with Mint Tape.
• Next, using a palette knife,  I added sparkly white embossing paste over all exposed areas.   I  removed the stencil, being careful not to smudge the design.  
• Afterwards, I placed the stencil in water and put the card face aside to dry.

Other:

• I stamped the sentiment and used a tiny die to cut it out.
• I also stamped the tiny heart with green ink,  added embossing ink with a pen, sprinkled it with holographic powder and set it with a heat gun.   I used a punch to cut it out.
• Once the card face was dry I used a pokey tool to create holes on either side of the bunny’s neck.  I threaded fine iridescent white yarn through the holes and secured this on the back with tape.

Assembly

• I glued the card face to the green border layer, centering on all sides.
• Following that, I added this to the card base, aligning to the left-hand edge, and leaving a white border on the right.
• I used metallic thread to attach the heart tag to the bunny’s collar.
• I added the sentiment to the upper left of the card.
• The finishing touch was the addition of three small green gems down the right-hand border.

Final Thoughts:

The sparkly Easter Bunny is really pretty:  I didn’t want to add anything to compete with that,  so I chose very soft green accents.   I’m really happy with the end result.
