Viva La Verve April 2013 Week 1

Hi folks,

Don't be alarmed, but this isn't the last of my Easter cards for this year. I was a bit tardy getting around to making them so there will still be a few that will pop up on the blog-arooni over the next little while.

Up first, is the Easter card I made for my sweetie using the Week 1 Sketch for the April Viva La Verve Challenges over on Splitcoaststampers.

Now, here is the sketch:

and here is my card:

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 4.25 inches, kraft card stock base
• patterned papers: My Mind's Eye "Nostalgia", edges inked with Memento Rich Cocoa
• stamps: Verve "Hoppy Easter", "Some Bunny". Bunny is coloured with Copic Markers (E50, E51, E53, YG11, BG000)
• Spellbinders Petite Circles, Petite Ovals

additional challenges for this card:

• One Stitch at a Time #157: Spring (a sure harbinger of Spring for me is Easter, especially when it  falls in March!)
• One Stop Craft Challenge #222: Easter
• Hiding in My Craft Room #91: Freestyle (anything goes)
• The Sisterhood of Crafters: Spring/Easter
• Crafty Creations #215: Easter

Thanks for stopping by - I hope one and all had a fabulous long weekend!
