Bunny Shaped Card - Happy Easter!

Happy Saturday!  It's such a beautiful day here...the sun is shining and the temperatures are in the 50's.  My little ones are at a neighbor's birthday party and my older two are out 'shooting hoops'.  So I snuck down to my craft area to make a quick Easter card.  This one is for my sister-in-law and niece who gave me a wonderful assortment of scrapbooking and card-making items for Christmas.  :-)  I was surprised and thrilled with all the goodies they gave me.  My favorite was the Cricut spatula...who knew that little gem was so useful?  They'll be happy to see that I've put the gifts to good use!

The bunny is from the Birthday Bash cartridge.  I welded her into a simple shaped card (yup, I'm still hooked on these!!) with my Gypsy.  I added a cute Peachy Keen face, a bit of pink sorbet twine for the bow on her ear and a felt flower and rhinestone for her tail.  The sentiment is from the Holiday Cakes cartridge...I'm finding some fun things on this cart!  The sentiment's shadow is brown, but the picture makes it look green...not sure why!  I think she looks pretty festive...you?

Recipe
Bunny from Birthday Bash, cut 2x, flipped and welded with my Gypsy; cut a second time in pp for top layer
'Happy Easter' from Holiday Cakes, base and shadow layers
Patterned paper from ki Memories 'Enchanting' line
Cardstock from Recollections
Peachy Keen 'Critter Faces' stamp
Felt flower from Target's dollar bin
Rhinestone from Joanne's
Pink sorbet twine from The Twinery
Chestnut roan chalk ink for inking edges and stamping face
EK Success dimensionals for popping up sentiment

I'm entering this card into five challenges:
Die Cuttin' Diva's Challenge #8: Hippity Hoppity - Create an Easter card.
FCCB #53: Looks Like Spring - Create a project using a springtime theme.
My Craft Spot Monday Challenge #1: Tie A Bow! - Make any crafty project with a bow tied on it.
Scrapaholic by Abby Challenge #2: Anything Spring - Create any project with a springtime element.
The Paper Variety: 1-2-3 Recipe Challenge - Create a project using a 1-2-3 recipe of your choice.  I chose 1 patterned paper, 2 die cuts (the bunny and the sentiment) and 3 colors (pink, brown and white).

Enjoy the weekend!
