For Some Bunny Special

Hi Crafty Friends,
I have a sweet bunny card for you today featuring Poppy Stamps Nordic Bundle Bunny Die & Nordic Bunny Die. Bunnies don't have to be just for Easter, they are perfect for spring too.

Make Crafty Friends:
Q: Which bunny below is your favorite?
A: Me? I like the regular Nordic Bunny

Step #1: I started my card by creating my Nordic Bunnies in shades of purple from the Poppy Stamps Twilight Purple Paper Pad. I also die cut the Poppy Stamps "For Some Bunny Special" sentiment in the darkest shade of purple.




Step #2: I chose a beautiful white and purple foliage pattern paper from the Memory Box Glimmering Gladiola for my background.


Step #3: I wanted to add more texture to my design so I added the Nordic Heart Die in white to my background.

Step #4: I added my sentiment to the bottom right corner. I put the Nordic Bundled Bunny on top of the sentiment and the Nordic Bunny to the left of the sentiment. I finished my card by added three gems to the top right and three gems to the bottom left of my card.
