These two little bunny friends are named Cloe and Max. Cloe is wearing her Easter Flowers and Max has an egg to give her. I'm not sure if it is a chocolate egg, but personally I'm hoping for chocolate!
Their friend Sweety is watching them from above. I think she is hoping it's chocolate, too!
This was a fun card to make, and honestly the easiest part of it was making the Toilet Paper Background. I used the Cane Weave 3D EF as I thought it was appropriate at this time when we are thinking about the goodies to fill Easter Baskets.
If you missed the LIVE version of the Connect to Create video, don't worry, you can always watch the replay.
Cloe is a Smokey Slate bunny, and Max is Crumb Cake bunny. They may not look exactly alike, but they are best friends.
Their Basket Weave Toilet Paper background was framed using a Deckled Rectangle Crumb Cake die cut. Creating a frame to cover the edges of the toilet paper is a simple way to finish off the edges of these toilet paper backgrounds. You can also wrap the edges over a cardstock backing. Watch the video for more Toilet Paper background ideas.
The grass was made by stamping a strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock with two rows of grass and then fussy cutting the top edge. I'll admit this was a bit "fussy", but after I added a little more Soft Sea Foam ink to the top edge of the grass with a sponge dauber and then "fluffed" it up a bit, I thought it was worth the effort. This Easter card is on its way to a special friend.
After all the fussy cutting on the card front, I decided to keep the inside extremely clean and simple. I just matted the Basic White on Crumb cake and stamped Happy Easter. I have plenty of room to include a little note to my friend.
I hope you will watch the Connect to Create video to learn more about the Toilet Paper background. What fun it is to use this common household product to make a card! I hope you will give it a try.
If you are not familiar with Connect to Create, it is a collaboration between myself and my good friend and fellow demonstrator, Kathi Ondus from Simply Kards by Kathi. We take turns each Thursday at 10 AM to bring you a short video showing a new (or an old favorite) technique. You can see the complete Connect to Create playlist on my Fairless Stampin' Flair YouTube Channel.
