If you don't think brown is an Easter color...

 ...just think chocolate Easter bunnies and eggs. I'm a bit of a choco-holic (dark chocolate only, please!), so I'm a firm believer in brown for Easter cards. Here's an example of one I made:


I started with an A2 white card base. I cut 3/4" off the right hand side of the front and then used a border punch to create the scalloped edge. When that was done, I cut a panel of brown DSP to adhere to the front.

I used my "bunny on a stool" die set, a stitched egg die and a sentiment die to create all the pieces needed to finish the card front.


If you look closely at the bunny, you'll see that I added some pink to his ears and his cheek.

The Easter eggs were cut from DSP, so no stamping or coloring needed to decorate them.








I added a 1" strip of some coordinating DSP to the right side of the inside and rounded the corners. Then I added a panel with a computer-printed sentiment on it to finish the card.

I think it's fun to use unexpected colors for cards occasionally. At Christmastime, I like to make a few cards using pastel pinks and blues.

A big "Happy Easter" to all who celebrate!

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