Hi all. Playing in the Just Add Ink Swirls challenge today.

Happy Easter

Hello. Playing in two clean and simple challenges today with this Easter bunny card.

The Bunny stamp is an old wood block one from Great Impressions.  I stamped it in Versafine, then heat embossed it with clear so that I could color the bunnies with Copics. 

The sentiment is from Echo Park. I chopped the card down to 4.25 x 4.25 to accommodate the image and prevent it from getting lost.
