Here is a quick and easy card to make for Easter. I love shades of purple and lavender, so I really think this card is stunning both because of it's monocromatic color scheme, and also due to it's simplicity.
First, I used the fabulous "Eggcoutrements" Clear Mount stamp set (found on page 22 of the Occasions Mini Catalog, Item 118556 at $16.95). You can order that on-line or contact me directly.
Next, I cut a piece of Orchid Opulence card stock at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored it at 4 1/4" and folded in half. The first layer is a piece of the Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper (also found in the Occasions MIni Catalog on page 25, Item 117160 at $9.95) cut at 4" x 4 1/4". Adhere this to the card base. This particular package of Designer Series Paper is so beautiful, I plan to make more Easter projects to share with you. You will find them here on each Tuesday during the month of March.
Next step is to stamp the Bunny face (circle) on a scrap of Whisper White card stock using an Orchid Opulence Stamp Pad (either Craft or Classic -- whichever you have). I used my Craft pad since my classic pad was too dry. I did re-ink it but did not want to wait for it.

We are now ready to punch and assemble the embellishment. Punch a scrap of Orchid Opulence with the Circle Scallop Punch, punch a scrap of Whisper White with the 1 1/4" punch and the Bunny with the 1" circle punch. Adhere these three pieces.
Cut a piece of Orchid Opulence card stock at 1 1/2" x 5 1/2". Adhere a "Faux Bow" to this piece by cutting a strip of White Taffeta Ribbon at 6 1/2". Wrap it around to the back and adhere with tape. Cut a second piece of the ribbon at 4 1/2" and tie on the front in a single knot. Trim your ends to fit. Use a mat and paper piercing tool to put a hole in each end of this piece of Orchid Opulence card stock. Insert a silver brad at each end going through the ribbon layer also. Use a Signo White Gel Pen to add a dot on each scallop.
Next you adhere the Orchid Opulence strip to the front of the card, add a couple Dimensionals behind the scallop circle and adhere to the strip. Use mini glue dots to place the ends of the ribbon where you want them, add the greeting and you are done! Didn't I tell you this was an easy one. Leave a comment and tell me what you think. I am always open to comments and suggestions. Here is the finished card, can you see that I stamped the greeting directly on the ribbon. How cool is that!
