Welcome to my stop on our Yahoo Group's Spring Blog Hop!
My card is composed of a wreath of colorful punched flowers and leaves surrounding a little bunny from my Seasonal Silhouettes stamp set. To aid in keeping the wreath somewhat round, I attached the flowers all around the edge of a 3" round piece of cardstock in the same color as the background. I then attached the round to the center of the frame. It's a little cheat but it works great. The bunny was embossed with Pearlescent Ivory embossing powder followed by a pale pink dye ink applied with a foam dauber. I finished the flowers with Cream Pearl Pen centers. I hope this card gives you a little inspiration to join in our seasonal card making challenge which starts today.
Now, hop on over to my friend Hetty's blog for a real springtime treat! http://craftchaos.blogspot.nl/
