This Welcome Easter Bunny on Peacock Foil Paper is one of those cards for which I didn’t really have a design in mind until I made it but I knew what kind of paper I wanted to use. After it all came together I really loved it! I think I will make some more cards just like this one to send for Easter. And Easter isn’t far off!
I was seeing the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper being used on some cards and it jogged my memory about having that paper! I have barely used it even though it is beautiful paper! I think products in the Annual Catalog get forgotten sometimes when we are mostly looking at the Mini Catalogs!
One of the coordinating colors with the Noble Peacock paper is Old Olive so I chose that for my card base. Then I just adhered the designer paper on the card base.
The bunny is from the Welcome Easter Stamp Set and is stamped in Memento Ink. Then I colored him with my Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and a little bit of Flirty Flamingo for his ears, nose, and bottom of his feet. I even drew in some sprigs of grass with Old Olive.
The bunny was die cut with one of my favorite dies of all time, the Stitched Shapes Dies. Then in deciding what color and size scalloped circle to use as a layer under the bunny, I die cut one in Petal Pink Cardstock and one in White Glimmer Paper. As I layered them to see what size I wanted, I saw that both layers looked good together! I love the little bit of pink around the edge and the pretty glimmer paper bringing another texture.
Since I had just received some back-ordered ribbon, the Petal Pink 1/4″Metallic Edge Ribbon, I used that underneath the bunny and popped it all up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting was stamped on a narrow scrap I had of Whisper White and I just cut the flagged ends.
Such a simple card, fun to make, and beautiful! Here is a similar card but with a monochromatic design for Easter. Try your hand at either one of these cards and send them out for Easter or just for spring or to say hello. If you have it, dig in your stash for the fancy-looking Noble Foil Paper to make this Welcome Easter Bunny on Peacock Foil Paper.
