\n<\/a>Today we are taking another look at the North Coast Creations <\/a><\/strong><\/span>February release! Don’t you just love the cute bunnies & beautiful flowers? Perfect for all your Easter & Spring cards!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For my first card, I used the lovely Pansies image & since I wanted to use some of this beautiful Shabby Rose paper from ODBD, I used my Copics to color them in unconventional colors then fussy cut them. A lot of times when I’m figuring out a design for a card, I’ll get a semi-finished picture in my head of what I’m going for. Sometimes the finished project looks pretty close, but more often\u00a0it morphs quite a lot\u00a0as I work with it. This card looks almost exactly as I pictured it which is a bit unusual but very welcome!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>For the Cathedral Window, I die cut a white frame, then white embossed the Marble Window onto vellum, colored it on the back side w\/ a blue\/green Copic, cut around it & attached it underneath the white frame. The white Asters & Fancy Foliage vines were die cut and added around the pansies. I used the largest die of the Flourished Star Pattern dies to die cut the beautiful Shabby Rose paper for my big background. For the largest layer, I used one of the darker Copics to color a matching frame then added a few Candi dots & a little Stickles to the pansy centers. \u00a0These are the Copics I used.

\n<\/a>My second card uses the super cute bunny from the Hippity Hoppity set. I colored & fussy cut him then placed him so it looks like he’s sitting inside the circle of a little window. On the piece behind the window, I stamped the ODBD gingham background w\/ the pink ink. I wanted the opening behind him to be on the diagonal but the rest to be square w\/ the frame, so after I die cut it to fit around the square, I used a circle die to cut out the inside, rotated it, then put it back. I added some die cut grass, sponged w\/ the same pink ink, behind him and also behind the frame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"NCC
\n<\/a>The greeting was stamped & die cut along w\/ a little heart charm & tied with some baker’s twine. To finish, I white embossed the butterfly branch, then sponged the pink on it & die cut w\/ the matching die. I trimmed off a few butterflies for the front & put more of them on the inside (below).<\/span>\"NCC<\/span>
