Bunnies

I have 2 cards for you today...

The first is using the Grand Bunny die from Poppy Stamps. I wanted it to look like a chocolate Easter Bunny so I ran it through an embossing plate, did it work? I added some bling for the eye and then some half pearls to the scallops. I also used the "Easter" die from Cheery Lynn Designs. I used Graphic 45 paper (violet Bouquet) from the Sweet Sentiments Collection and the glittered paper is from Best Creations.

This next card is also using the Grand Bunny Die from Poppy Stamps. This time I am using paper from Authentique, again, I added bling for the eye and some pretty pink ribbon. All supplies can be found at A Scrap-N-Place.
