Which Way to Easter Fun?

Happy Monday!  I trust everyone had a good weekend. We have snow and it's almost Easter. I think Mother Nature is having a senile moment. Anyway, I actually have 2 things today.

 First, I will show you the card I have created for the challenge at FCCB. The challenge is to use anything Easter on a project. This card was cut from the Cricut but uses elements from several different cartridges, non of which are Easter related.
The tree is just a scrap of brown paper that I embossed with a wood grain embossing folder and went over the knot with a brown sharpie.
The leaves were cut from green scraps with decorative scissors. The arrows were printed off the computer, cut out and embellished with stickers I have had for umpteen million years. The clouds were sponges with Stampin' Up ink Ballet Blue and a scallop oval. The grass is a border from the roses and rosettes cartridge. The signs and the front ground leaves have been popped up with foam mounting tape.


Now, for the animals. The chick is simply a circle and 2 ovals welded together. The eyes were punched out with a small whole punch. The beak is a triangle and the feet are a flower also from the ribbons and rosettes cartridge. all backed on black paper.

The bunny is also a series of circle and ovals welded together. Again, eyes punched with small whole punch. The ears and face are drawn on with pink marker.

I will post the second project later today. I have some errands I need to run first.

Hope you like! Feel free to leave comments or suggestions!
