My first card exchange

Ready for the mailman

I've been thinking I've gone a little overboard (as is my nature, I guess) ... I've committed to many blog hops and challenges. 

And my response?  Join a card exchange, of course!

This card exchange required 10 copies of the same card, with a bunny/Easter theme.  While some may find this tedious, I was surprised to find that I enjoyed "mass producing" the same card over and over. 

Not that I'm going to be putting Hallmark out of business any time soon!!

Here is another view -- front forward -- of this card.  I started by stamping the adorable baby image; I colored each of the images using Copic markers.

Once done, I cut the image using the Cricut Cake Basics cartridge (I use this one a LOT!) in a shadow scalloped oval.  I Cricut-cut a base out of bright yellow cardstock, measuring 1/2" larger for the shadow effect.

Using my Crop-A-Dile, I punched two holes near the feet of the baby image and thread dotted organza ribbon through the holes.  Tied in a bow!

I cut two layers of the grass from the Easter 2010 seasonals cartridge and affixed them to the bottom of the stamped image.  I adorned with stickers, pearls, and a flower leftover from my pomander project posted last week. 

Don't forget! I still have blog candy to give away ...
