Easter Cheer

I had a few Easter cards to hand out on Easter Monday, and wanted them to be bright and cheerful for some friends at school.  A couple were to thank my friends for some Easter gifts they gave to my son, and others were just to cheer them up during this week - state standardized testing!

Here's what I came up with:

I managed to make six of these in about an hour - easy to do when you are make smaller cards. First, I stamped the bunny on 2009 Polka Dot Basics paper in Kraft, Soft Stone, and Hibiscus Burst.  I cut out the bunnies (super-easy!) and highlighted them with either a red gel pen or a pink marker.  Then, I cut the 3x3 mats, inked the edges and added the grass to all of the mats.  After stamping and coloring in the tree leaves, I added the rhinestones, sentiment and secured the bunnies.  I left their ears loose so that they would look a little floppy.  I added another white mat and then used New Leaf as the card base. Here's another angle: 

 On the inside, I included the sentiment "Sending You a Happy Hello" from the Sending You set. 

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place today!

I can't believe you cut that bunny...
6 times!!
Maybe it's because I failed scissor cutting in kindergarten that I avoid it all costs :)
Seriously...

We had TCAP last week...the stress...

So glad it's over and now everyone can relax a bit!
Hope you have a great in spite of the testing!

I *love* these!! Your bunny is too cute!!

My son (private school) had his first experience with testing this year. First grade and it was a week of testing. Seriously. He's 7. Crazy! The teachers were climbing the walls and ready to be done by Wed.
