Easter Bunnies!!

Hello!! hope you are all doing ok.... I thought I'd show you some very quick Easter Cards that I made.... I wanted to make quite a few... but I am very short on time ... so basically I had to come up with a design and layout that was really quick to put together... also wanted to keep them flat because of postage costs.


I've used a pre-coloured image from Fred, She Said called Easter Bunny - Coloured and it comes in two colour combos. You can print out a sheet of four... or else crop and resize as you wish... I have slightly toned down the colours to match my pastels...


it's a really fab image because the colours match so many 'Easter' coloured papers!! :-))


All the papers are from Pink Petticoat... and the 'Happy Easter' sentiment is also from Pink Petticoat ... I added it underneath the image before printing out... I also added different coloured borders to the papers and the images as I wanted everything laid out on one sheet to print, cut and glue... so easy peasy... and once you have got your layout sorted and saved, then you can just print out as many as you need...


I've added an Embosslit Flower to some and some Paper Bows with gems/pearls to others... my daughter loves the bows... but they did take a bit longer to make as I used a template and resized it... then cut them out by hand.... so I didn't make quite as many of them!! LOL

They were very quick to make but I think they came out quite sweet! :-))


Lots of Spring Colour Combos....


I did double check the rules on the challenges... and think they are all ok for a pre-coloured digi image? if I have broken any rules then big apologies and please delete! 

I would like to enter the following Challenges:-


Creative Inspirations - 'Spring Pastels'
Simon Says - 'Easter/Spring' 
Cute Card Thursday - 'Easter Parade' 
Digi Haven - 'Easter' 
QKR Stampede - 'Easter Fun' 
Totally Papercrafts - 'Easter Eggsravaganza' 


I am being a little night owl tonight... 11.45pm and posting!!

My mum and dad are both doing ok at the moment btw... thanks for all your good wishes!

Tomorrow, Saturday is my birthday and so planning to spend the day relaxing and might watch a film. I can't decide what to watch though... maybe Tess by Polanski... lovely Summer scenery in it!! My daughter is away at a funeral and so we are going to celebrate again when she gets home on Tuesday.  I have a Choc Mint Viennetta in the freezer!! Mmmm.... and all being well I am going for a meal on Sunday with some friends... so looking forward to that... :-)

Just hope it doesn't snow!! we've been lucky so far and it hasn't settled.. but it's still blooming freezing!! and the wind is howling around the house!! Brr.... glad I didn't put my thermals away!! LOL

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
Keep warm and snug... and safe! 
Love and hugs

Happy Birthday Sue!! Hope you've had a lovely day!

Did you eat the Vienetta? We've got a strawberry and chocolate one in the freezer for tomorrow. Don't know if that's a new flavour as I've not seen it before this week.

Love your cards; so bright and pretty. The image is perfect!
