Happy Saturday!  Congratulations to last weeks challenge winners – Becky G. was first place and Lori was second place, with honorable mention going to Robin.  It was so fun to see all the entries last week – I hope everyone plays along this week – good luck!

It’s Saturday and time for another challenge at Create with Connie & Julie!

This week our challenge is a Theme Challenge – Easter cards.  The featured items this week are Eggcoutrements stamp set, Spring Floral Wheel, Eggcellcent Eggs Kit, and the Chocolate Bunny stamp.

I used the Chocolate Bunny and the Eggcellcent Eggs Kit along with a few other products.  I was trying to do something different.  The problem is that it was hard to photograph because there is a window sheet over the bunny so I kept getting a reflection when I took the picture.  This one was the best one.

What I had in mind was a chocolate bunny behind the window – like the boxes in the store – and then I wanted to try something different besides making him chocolate – so mine is a white chocolate bunny!  I used the Emboss Resist technique to create him.  So the Chocolate Bunny is stamped with VersaMark ink on Whisper White card stock.  Covered him in Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.  Then I used a Stampin’ Sponge and Chocolate Chip ink over it and then buffed it with a paper towel.  And now that it is done it kind of looks like an old fashioned portrait.

I added rub-ons on the window sheet – these come from the Eggcellecent Eggs Kit.  The inside also has some rub-ons. I think I could have added more but decided I needed to stop before I added too much.
