Banana Spilt Sunday & Caardvarks Challenges

This week's Banana Spilt Challenge is to do something Spring related and the Caardvark Challenge is to include a critter in your project. SO, I made an Easter card to use in both challenges.
My Easter card is using the new Daisy Chain, Checking Out papers and Grow Accessory Sheet by My Mind's Eye. The bunny image is from the 2 Red Bananas Caring Critters Stamp Set and the sentiment is from the 2 Red Bananas Bunnies and Eggs Stamp Set. They were both stamped with Tsukineko Coffee Bean ink. The cool burlap woven ribbon is from May Arts. I ran a piece of green ric rac through it and adhered it with Glue Lines. The flowers are from Prima with a BasicGrey brad in the center.

Be sure to check out the 2 Red Bananas blog to see other Spring inspired creations and to join the fun! If you upload your images to PCP or SCS, use 2RBBSS02 as your keyword! This week there will be a prize for one random participant.

The Caardvarks Challenge will remain open until March 18th and they are offering a prize to one lucky winner as well.

Sneak Peek Day 7 Featuring Bunnies & Eggs Stamp Set

Welcome to the final day of 2 Red Bananas March Release Sneak Peeks!

All NINE new and exclusive stamp sets will be available on the 2 Red Bananas site tomorrow.

Today we are featuring the Bunnies & Eggs stamp set. In the card below, I used one of the bunnies and the Happy Easter sentiment from the new set. I made this card to use in the BasicGrey Challenge 24- Pockets. The image and sentiment were both stamped with Tsukineko graphite black and colored with Prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits. After coloring, I added a few dots and lines with the Sakura stardust pen on the egg and then coated it in angel wings Shimmerz. I got a new EK Success decorative edge trimmer this weekend so I used it on the bottom of the pocket. I nested an American Crafts flower in a Prima flower and topped it off with a clear daisy dewdrop.
