Easter Bunny Card leftovers

Last month I posted an Easter card for the March Close To My Heart Blog Hop.  I had a few leftovers and came up with another Bunny card to share with you.
 I had to photograph this card on an angle so my reflection did not appear in the holographic circle.

 Today I received a few card pieces in the mail including this pretty butterfly die cut.  I wasted no time using it to make this card.


Do you recognize the old CTMH fundamental paper?  I wish they would bring that back!  The sentiment and swirl stamps are also by CTMH.  And the pretty butterfly ribbon is from The Ribbon Boutique.   

The sewing machine happens to be on the table right now for mask making.  Can you see the machine stitching on two sides of the card?  I figured it was the perfect time to add some stitching. 


Come back tomorrow to see what I've created for the April Close To My Heart Blog Hop. 

Challenges:
Cuttlebug Mania - Easter (Used my Cuttlebug to die cut the stitched circle and scalloped borders.)
Pearly Sparkles Challenge #50 - Bunnies, Birds and/or Bears
DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge #257 - Cats and/or Kittens, Bunnies and/or Chicks 
Aud Sentiments Challenge #248 - AG with a sentiment
As You Like It Challenge - Animals or People?  (I find people very difficult to color, animals a bit easier.)
Moving Along with the Times Challenge #117 - Use Diamonique Embellishments

It's crooked! I know!

So, I'm editing this picture and trying to get it straight.  Then I think maybe I put the sentiment piece on lopsided.  Nope.  Finally I realized it is stamped crooked.  I didn't even notice that until now.  Sure glad I decided to snap a picture and share the card with you.  I'll be restamping it before I send it off.

Easter Bunny by Mo's Digital Pencil

It's been a while since I posted on my blog.  My apologies.  I was very busy making Easter and Mother's Day cards.  Now, I have some time to share a few of my favorites with you.

Here's an Easter card using a darling digi called Easter Bunny 2 from Mo's Digital pencil. 
I used markers and pencils to color this and a Lawn Fawn stamp for the sentiment. 


I've decided to create my own challenge today.  
And I challenge you to do the same.  
I am going to leave at least one comment at each challenge I enter for someone else who has entered.  I am hoping that leaving a comment on someone else's blog right now, just might make their day.  And if I find a card that really strikes my fancy, perhaps I'll come back and share it with you!   Care to join my challenge?  
Hugs to all!
DebiB

Challenges:
Allsorts Challenge Week 564 - Anything from the Animal Kingdom

Now, since this is a blog hop,

Your next stop is Joyce Houck's blog.
The hop is circular.
