Chocolate Bunnies

Hi, everybody.  I would like to welcome my newest follower, Donna Ellis!  Now, Donna, I know you were already a Bloglovin' follower, but it's so nice to see your beautiful face over there under my GFC followers - thank you!  Tonight I am sharing an Easter card I made - I tried to keep it CAS and masculine since it's for a boy.


There were no digis used on this card, all traditional stamping.  I took the photo on an angle so you can see the heat embossing.  I embossed the bunny in brown on brown cardstock and fussy-cut. Here are the supplies used:

  • Stamps:  Bunny and sentiment (See-D's Bunnies and Chicks)
  • Embossing powder:  The Artful Stamper
  • Ribbon:  Offray
  • Patterned paper:  Recess of Carson Dellosa
  • Cardstock:  Recycled backing board
  • Accent:  Metallic egg (dollar store)

Whoa! Do we need to take your temperature? No digitals? LOL Darling card, Kitty and so sweetly done with the embossing powder. Love the background papers! Hope this finds your shoulder feeling better these days. I think of you often. Guess we have some sort of connection, as I find you so dear. (not that I am LOL) Thank you for the shout of welcome!
