Let's Craft and Create Challenge #157: Easter...

Is it really March? Is Spring truly going to come to Minnesota? When you live in the northern U.S., Spring is always a much-anticipated season. It marks the end of parkas, boots, mittens and scarves worn over the top of heavy sweaters and long pants. I think we all lose about 5 pounds, just by taking off our winter wear.

March is also the month for Let's Craft and Create to celebrate Easter with our papercraft creations. I've made a simple Easter card to share along with all of the other inspiring projects on the LC&C blog. Please do click on the link I've provided and take a peek at them.

 I have a sweet little stamp and die set that includes this banner (with sentiment) and the flowers you see on it. I used another die to cut out my cute little bunny that looks like one of the popular "Peeps" marshmallows.

My card base, banner and bunny were cut out of some pale pink cardstock that has a subtle pattern to it.

 
I cut my blossoms from some scraps of paper in my stash and used Nuvo Drops for the centers. In this photo, you can see how I've popped some of them up on foam squares to add a little dimension.

My banner has also been popped up on foam tape.

I thought my little bunny needed a tail, so in looking through my stash, I found some clear enamel dots that were just the right size. My sister had given them to me some time ago, and I think they worked perfectly as bunny tails!

The shadow in this photo shows how my bunny has also been popped up on foam tape.

On the inside of my card, I used some more of the DSP that was adhered to the front, and I added a couple more of those die-cut flowers. My sentiment was computer-generated.

That's it for my contribution to this month's Easter challenge. How about entering one of your Easter/Spring-themed cards into the challenge? We'd love to see what you have created, and there's a prize for the winner, too.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
