Easter Card


 Today I have an Easter card to share, made with a Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 18 die, a Simon Says Stamp egg die, a Gina Marie Designs bunny die, and a Kaiser Craft die-cut sentiment. I added a little twine bow around the bunny's neck and added an eye and a nose with markers. The word "Happy" was heat-embossed with white ep on navy card and fussy cut to fit above the die-cut word Easter.
Entering this into the following challenges:


Dies R Us Challenge#190 - A/G using dies from their store (Spellbinders)


Crafty Cats Challenge #589 - A/G or lots of layers



 Sorry if I haven't been around to visit lately. We've been dealing with the loss of 2 life-long friends in January and February,  and then earlier this week my husband's sister suddenly passed. She's being buried on her 55th wedding anniversary and the sadness is beyond words for both of us.
I hope to pick up the pieces and get back on track soon, but for now I'm just trying to breathe without having panic attacks.

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all a good weekend and a very happy spring as well.
Carol

I'm so terribly sorry for your losses dear Carol! A very hard time indeed and please take care of yourself and those you love.

Your card is super cute and I just love all of the wonderful die cut pieces especially the way the egg has that slight bit wave to it! The bunny is darling and that Easter font die is so pretty too!

Oh Carol, I'm so sorry for your losses! I too, have had lot of loss as well through friends. It just keeps coming! Making me wonder what the heck is going on. Just got an email yesterday about a passing and another one about a teacher friend who is in the hospital. Not Covid, she had a lot of health issues and another teacher donated part of her liver to this teacher. So unreal at all that is going on. On the bright side, your card is just darling! I love the way the egg is done and of course that sweet bunny is just perfect. I haven't even started any Easter cards, guess I'd better start! Keeping you and hubby in my thoughts and prayers as well as sending love, hugs and prayers, Brenda

Carol, I am sorry to hear of all your losses. And I understand how frightening panic attacks, or the fear of panic attacks, can be. Will remember you and your family in my prayers.
