Inspired By #118 Easter is coming!

 
I do hope Easter brings some really good weather with it!
I recently made a card for an expectant Mom, and loved
the design so much, that I've recreated it for
this week's Inspired By #118 … this time with
a 'chocolate' bunny!


My bunny is from Purple Onion, his little
Easter eggs make me crave
Cadbury mini-eggs so badly!!  They're a thing around here,
we can't wait for them to hit the shelves!
Here is how I created mine... a bit of DOX blending,
some splatters, then cutting with the egg die from
EBE Backyard Bird Friends -
the key is to cut without stamping. 
Come to think of it, any egg die would do!




We have a new leader here at Inspired By
Danni Reid has stepped into some very large shoes - and we have a few new faces on the design team, too! 
Laurel, we're going to miss you around here!
Thanks so much for bringing us together, and inspiring us each week!

I hope you'll find something in our photo to inspire
you to play along!
This week … if you are more likely to play with a jumping-off point, Danni has shared this Sketch for the week,
but it isn't necessary to:


Hope you'll play along!

Adorable, Michele! Those eggs are fabulous. So is your coloring on the bunny. Heck, the whole card is fantastic. Thanks for sharing! I'm a fan of the Hershey chocolate eggs, myself. ;)

Your card is just so darn cute! Love it! I have that sweet little bunny but never thought of him as an Easter bunny...and now I will Even his little hat works because Easter always seems a bit cold to me.

Oh oh oh....that little bun bun is adorable, but the EGGS and the NEST!! Sooo cute! Maybe next week I can manage the sketch as well!

Adore Stacey Yacula's critters and this little guy makes the ideal chocolate bunny. Too cute to eat. Looks like he found a good place to stash those beautiful eggs.

Brilliant card Michele! You have reminded me that we haven't any eggs in our house yet.... chocolate that is lol. It's not something that we usually get but maybe this year could be an exception... Those eggs are perfect BTW!

This is one cute chocolate bunny, Michele! We should have bought that Easter candy when they put it out right after Valentine's Day!

This is just the sweetest! I love those mini eggs (the chocolate kind too!) ;)

I love those eggs as much as your adorable 'chocolate' bunny, Michele! They are colored so softly and the speckles are perfect. The clean framing and the very light spatters are just perfect!
And yes, your Easter eggs definitely remind me of Cadbury mini-eggs! Yuuum!

It is Easter today, and the weather here in NJ is just gorgeous, though a strong storm is moving in tonight. This is just the sweetest card. Love everything about it. Those little eggs are just so adorable, and the bunny in the nest with them just makes me smile. Happy Easter, my friend.
