For this blog hop, I went for a bunny theme, and started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel. I wanted to use the Layered Bunny Faces stencils to create rows of rainbow bunnies, and to make the colors stand out on the kraft panel, I started off by applying white pigment ink on the paper using the stencil A.

Next I used that same stencil to make my rainbow bunnies, but shifted it a little bit to the right, and applied kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron and salvaged patina oxide inks. I followed that order on each row, but moved the colors so that the bunny pattern wouldn't be repetitive.

For the ears and noses, I used the stencil B and picked darker shades of inks that match the bunnies: picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, mustard seed, mowed lawn and peacock feathers. And I didn't want the details to be too bold, so I used vintage photo oxide inks along with the stencil C to add them. Once my Layered Bunny Faces background was done, I mixed some white ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters all over the panel.

Next I die cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock or gold glitter cardstock. I assembled and attached everything on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, leaving enough space at the bottom for my greeting. Here is a detailed list of the elements I used:

• Big Easter Cupcake - cupcake wrapper, bunny head and paws, grass, small carrots

• Easter Mug Additions - bunny ears, nose and cheeks, big carrots, bow, flowers

• Big Birthday Cupcake - cake

I white heat embossed my "Somebunny loves you" greeting from Sentiments Strips: Easter on dark brown cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached it below the cupcake using 2mm foam squares. Added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and then moved on to the see-through bunny tag.

When a new shaker die set is released, I like to make a see-through tag with it. So when I saw the super cute Bunny Face Shaker die from the Pretty Pink Posh March 2024 Release, I knew I'd have fun making another of those see-through shaker tags!

I started off by cutting a bunny face frame out of white cardstock, as well as a whole bunny face out of acetate that I attached at the back of the bunny face frame using liquid glue. I used the handle die from Build A Stocking to cut a handle for my tag. Cut two of those, assembled them using liquid glue, and attached my handle at the top back of my bunny face frame using liquid glue again.

Next I cut another white bunny face frame, and another whole acetate bunny face that I attached on top of the bunny face frame using liquid glue. I added foam strips all around the face, following the shape of it, and on the ears too. I poured some Springtime Shaker Beads inside the frame, and then stuck the first frame on top of the foam strips to totally close my Bunny Face Shaker.

I white heat embossed my "Hopping by to say hello" greeting from Sentiment Strips: Easter on some aqua cardstock, trimmed it into a fishtail banner using a Sentiment Strips die that I attached right below my tag, and next I gave my bunny a face. Here is a detailed list of the items I picked:

• Bunny Shaker Face - ears, nose and mouth

• Valentine Mug Additions - heart shaped cheeks

• Easter Mug Additions - paws and eyes

I added a few highlights here and there using a white gel pen, tied a pink bow that I attached on the bunny's head using liquid glue, and finally added gold thread on the handle.
