Today is the second day of the inspirational Pretty Pink Posh new release blog hop and I'm so excited to share some cards with you using the Bunny Friends set and lots of of the other new dies. I made six cards and shared four of them on my last blog post. I have two more to share with you today all using the same stamp and die set.
Here are the first four cards I showed on the other post and you can view that post to see directions for each of them HERE:
And here are the two cards I haven't shared yet with directions for each:
This card uses a few of the new dies from the release. I love the Stacked Edges 2 die set - these diamonds look so pretty all lined up together as a background. First I watercolored a background using blues and purples. Then I die cut a stitched rectangle out of this piece. Next, I die-cut several of the Stacked Edges 2 die from the stitched rectangle and lined them up on the front of a card base.
I die-cut two of the Decorative Egg dies out of white cardstock and colored the inside pieces with a purple Copic Marker. I attached these to the front of the card and glued the Pansy Purple Jewels on each center piece. I stamped the bunny and flowers on white cardstock with natural colored ink and colored them in with Copic Markers. I attached them around the eggs. I used the Easter Egg Shaker and Happy Easter Script dies for the salutation. The script words were too big to fit across the card, so by cutting the word Happy out of the shaker, I was able to fit the whole salutation along one line. I covered it with White Blizzard Tonic Nuvo Drops. I added Gems to the center of the flower.
For this card, I started with a texture paste background. I colored texture paste with Abandoned Coral Distress Ink and then rubbed it over a dotted stencil like the SSS Medium Dots Stencil. I then die-cut the piece of white cardstock into a stitched rectangle. I painted a piece of watercolor paper with several colors of watercolor paint for the inside of the eggs. I die-cut them with the Decorative Egg dies (x3) and then also die-cut some white frames from white cardstock. These layered eggs over the background became my frames for the bunnies.
I stamped the bunnies on white cardstock with a light color of ink and then colored them in with Copic Markers and used colored pencils to shade them. I also colored some flowers and carrots. I attached all of these elements over the egg frames. I die-cut the word Easter from the Happy Easter die and colored it with Copic markers in several colors to match. I attached that to the top of the card.

Your coloring is just so great. And I feel like those little hatching bunnies would be perfect for your new grandbabies! So cute! I don't know how you find time to color in between holding them, but I'm happy you do!

Amazing cards! I just love the products.

Oh my gosh, you made some of the cutest cards ever! You also made the most cards out of anybody on this hop that I have seen so far. Where do I start? Those bunnies are the cutest stamps I have ever seen. I love cute stamps and those bunnies are as cute as it gets.
Your first card reminds me of wrapping paper and I don't know why. Maybe I saw something like this once. I see you also used my favorite color in the whole wide world on this card, yellow. I love your coloring too. This is one colorful card!
Your second card has that cute bunny jumping for joy and that Easter egg cut out which requires a die cutter which I don't have. I also see some yellow. Again I love you're coloring and the background and those jewels are a must have for me. When I win, I want that stamp with the bunnies and some of those new jewels. They really dress up a card.
Your card with the bunnies holding a carrot and an Easter egg is also very colorful and I love that background too. You did an amazing job with all of the cards.
I love shaker cards and this one is so full of yellow I am in hog heaven! LOL I love, love, love, love this card! Those bunnies coming out of the eggs are so cute!
Even though you only used 2 colors in your next card and neither of them are yellow, I love this one because of the new jewels. I would love to receive any one of those cards.
Your last card has polka dots which I love and plenty of yellow. I love how you framed those bunnies!
Wow, you did an amazing job on everything. When I grow up, I want to be you! LOL
