Beautiful bunny!


I don't normally go much for the freebies given away with craft magazines, but I really fell in love with this adorable bunny stamp that came with this month's Quick Cards Made Easy. It really got me in the mood for making a few Easter cards, and I decided to keep the design simple in line with the simple lines of the image... I also love fresh spring coloured gingham for Easter :-). So this is an example of a mini production-line I got going this evening ... please excuse the night time photo, but I need to get this posted before the deadline for a few challenges!
