Hello all! I hope you're having a great weekend! It is nice and sunny here in Connecticut so that is automatically makes it a great weekend on my end! :) Project # 27 of 30 of my Spring Creation Self Challenge is a cute Easter card using a Dustin Pike image. Have you seen Dustin's blogs? He creates the cutest images and sometimes even gives them away FREE!! Check his blogs out...Dustin Pike and Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge Blog . I used his Easter Bunny freebie image to create my entry over on the Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge Blog. The requirements for entry were to create an Easter project using one of Dustin's images. Almost too good to be true! I had SOOO much fun with my entry, so without further delay...This is what I whipped up!
Isn't Dustin Pike's Bunny Digi Stamp SOOO cute???!!! He looked like a bunny on a mission so I paired him up with the "egg hunt" stamp. I decided to make my bunny a "chocolate bunny" (my favorite!! lol) Once my bunny was colored I added pale pink glitter dust to his ears, nose and belly. I added diamond stickles to his eyes and his eggs and pink stickles to the outside of the white circle. When the stickles finished drying I added Glossy Accents to the eggs and grass for more detail. (You can see the glitter and gloss better in the next picture.) I also flocked his tail with Beary Brown Stampin' Up Flock. I wish you could see it better in these pictures, but my camera isn't great at close up shots. :(
After all my Bunny pieces were dry, I assembled my pieces using adhesive and Pop dots for dimension. You know I loooove my pop dots! ;) I found this FAB "Hoppy Easter" paper in my stash and better yet it was two sided with this cute pink/white egg paper, so I decided it was meant to be and put the two together. I used the MS scallop border punch on both the card base and the pink/egg paper and used my white opaque pen to draw the white dots on the scallops. I tied my little dark pink satin bow, lilac button and a dark pink smaller button, all together with some thin white twine.
I assembled my entire card and added medium sized pastel green pearls to the bottom of the "bounce" lines for added detail. Can you see all my lovely dimension in the picture above?? LOVE it! I doubled and tripled up on my pop dots! Actually, I ran out of pop dots while assembling and since I had a "one day only" coupon for today at M's I decided I'd run down to restock and get a few other things of course! ;)
I like to finish the inside of my cards too so that they are ready to go when I need them (like, tomorrow for this one! lol) I stamped the frilly frame and then the sentiment. "Happy Easter" is from that cute little "Pure Innocence" stamp set I've used a lot lately. I added some tiny crystals to the swirly points in the frame and 3 pale blue pearls to the middle of the sentiment. A close up pic is below...
I hope you liked this creation as it was really fun to create! I love working with Dustin's images and I can't help but have fun when I'm using his images!*Hugs, JennRo*
The 
SO, combine the two and this is what I came up with! 
I used some FAB cardstock from Little Yellow Bicycle and some other papers from my stash! I stamped the sheet music onto beige cardstock to compliment the music in the bunny's hands. I used my new Sizzix Embosser to emboss the pink cardstock for added texture. I inked everything (including the dotted texture!) with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink and stamped my sentiment with the same ink. I used Diamond Glitter Stickles on the bunny image and also on the "frame" of the sentiment. I distressed the small blue circle with Tim Holtz's Paper Distress tool to give it an older look. Once everything was dry I assembled and POP'd everything up using pop dots! LOVE my dimensions!! :) A pretty pale pink satin ribbon to top it off and there ya have it! Hope you enjoy it! :)
