Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you all have a wonderful day! Nothing says "Valentine's Day" quite like an Easter card, but here we are! LOL! I hope you've been enjoying the sneak peeks of all of the fun new goodies! I'm smitten with today's products and you're sure to fall in love as well! I was thinking to myself that this has been the release of difficult to photograph cards! LOL! I don't know if it is the gloomy winter light, or what, but I have really been struggling! This design was a little tricky because I used metallic paper that often causes glare problems! However, before I dive into the details of my card, make sure you "hop" along to the rest of the designer's blogs as well (pun intended)!

To begin this design, I painted a piece of watercolor paper using pink pearl watercolor. I used the same technique that I used on THIS card. I added some blue so that I could get some purple tones as well. Once it was dry, I used the Card Front Element Builders to die cut the scalloped edge. I used the new Egg Window SugarCut to die cut the middle. I saved the die cut piece and used it to create a second card that you can see further in today's post. The bunny is die cut out of metallic silver specialty paper that I picked up at Hobby Lobby. I stacked it a few times using liquid glue onto some white die cuts. I also added a white pom pom to the tail for some whimsy. The Easter die cut was constructed using the same steps.
This is the card that uses the piece that I removed from the watercolored piece used in the card above. I love when you get a 2 for 1 option when die cutting. The sentiment is from the new Easter Wishes stamp set and is heat embossed in silver.
I added a white pom pom to this bunny's tail as well and added a few sparkling clear sequins for shine. I had so much fun working on these two designs! Thanks for fluttering by!
So pretty with the metallic paper and love the pom pom bunny tail.
