chris wooten/turnedgypsy   is offering up a chance to win a scrap easel. how sweet is that!!  head on over to her blog and play along. 

her recipe for the challenge is to use one of the spring easter carts.(altho if you dont have either or are a non cricut user , use what ya got :) 

on the front of the card use:

1)  1 layer in pink rectangle

2) layer in yellow rectangle

3) sentiment stamped on white

4) 3 buttons

5) add some embossing.

for my card i used spring holiday cart. i covered the cut out text portion with my sentiment ,which is a studio g stamp. i just wanted the bunny to be peeking over . i added tiny pearlys for nose and eyes and penned on some whiskers. 

 i used doodle charms cart for the eggs, colored them with colorbox fluid chalk and  embossed 2 with cuttlebug and added a little stickles .

the bunnies  from left to right are from paperdolls,animal kingdom ( i added flowersoft for tail) cartridges and the last is a prima stamp.

i used pooh and friends for the grass, colored in colorbox fluid chalk. 

added 3 buttons. handcut corners and a rhinestone flower.
