Country Door is the great site that Brenda (Benzi) selected for her Inspiration Challenge today. She was right; the site is filled with many goodies! Great selection, Brenda!
This "Bunny in Basket" is my inspiration piece. The inspiration piece is bunnies in baskets. Instead of bunnies in baskets, I created a bunny with a basket for my image.
To create the card, I used copics to color the background on a white piece of cardstock. Then I colored the bunny with its basket of eggs using colored pencils and copics and die cut it. I attached it to the background with one layer of foam tape.
There are two overlay panels that I made using the SSS Tulip Collage Die. For the first panel, I only colored with copics the tulips, tree, and leaves and left the remainder white. I decided I did not like all the white space that resulted from just coloring the items I colored; therefore, I created another tulip collage panel. I used a piece of white cardstock and began coloring with copics (many colors) and then Distress Oxide inks. I continued to apply inks until I was content with the panel.
Then I used the colored cardstock to die cut another tulip collage panel. I removed the tulips from the die cut. I was not happy with that so I used an oval die to cut an oval from the outer edges of the tulip collage. Guess what? I was not happy with that either. Therefore, I glued that back in when I glued this panel to the first tulip collage panel. I attached the glued panels over the bunny with two layers of foam tape. I stamped the sentiment and attached the panels to a top-fold card base. And that's all folks!
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment!

My goodness Bev, I can't recount how many crafting sessions I've had as you described, so I feel for you! The best part is that the end result is an absolutely darling card with the Easter bunny planting eggs at dawn ahead of the Easter egg hunt. So precious and beautifully colored! Well done, my friend!

Your cute bunny playing with his basket of Easter egg finds is so sweet, Bev! Reminds me of the boys when they were little at the egg hunts running around trying to find what was right in front of them. Lol Adorable and beautifully framed~

Perfection on paper!!! Bev this is jaw dropping gorgeous, your colouring is out of this world and the design in brilliant. I love the difference between the pencils and the Copics. I nearly fainted when I got to the part when you said you weren't happy - seriously my friend you could scribble on a brown paper bag and make it look fabulous and dimensional. The end result was soooo worth all the work. You are making me look at diecut frames in a different light. I hope you can tell how much I love this. Xx

Missed this during my hand hiatus. This is just darling, and one would never know you were unhappy with it and tore it apart numerous times and reinvented until it final was good! However it came to be, it's lovely. Love the shaded Copic colored panels, the little tulip sprouts and bunny and his basket of colorful eggs. Another of your lovely creations!
