Hey there, hope everyone is surviving this Clint Eastwood Spring weather (The Good, The Bad and the Ugly). Thoughts and prayers continuing for those dealing with The Ugly.
So, I made Easter/Spring cards this past weekend and the plan was to use up stuff in my Easter box. I found this Hetty Clare Sax Bunny already printed up and had to use him. This is for Dear Daughter and Son In Love. They live in Austin, TX and every year since it began he has worked the South By Southwest Festival (SXSW) as a volunteer. They've also been known to hop a plane cross-country to catch a concert, more than once. They met at a Father John Misty concert and he proposed to her at one 3 years later. Music is therefore a central theme with them, so I figured this bunny would work with some sentiment snark. 😁😎
I chose this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my layout design. Those sideways half-circles intrigued me and I immediately thought of a winding road or walkway. The stencil I ended up using gives some of that same movement, so that made me happy.
Supply List:
Crafter's Companion Gold Dust Shimmer card stock base
Hetty Clare Sax Bunny Digi, colored with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir glitter markers
Funky Fossil Round in Dots stencil, inked with Delicata Gold pigment ink and heat-embossed with Ranger Princess Gold embossing powder
Spellbinders A2 Distressed Edges Dies, edges colored with the glitter markers
Inside, I composed and framed my sentiment in PSE and printed out.
On back, some Provocraft Heritage music collage designer paper, cut with one of the Distressed Edge dies, then brushed here and there with a few Palette Hybrid pastel inks. I did the same to the stamped and circle punched siggie. The strip behind it is cut with one of the dies, then gold heat-embossed in a shabby way.

MY CHALLENGE PLAYLIST:
I'm really happy with it, although I wish now I'd said Spring is on the playlist. 😏 Hope the kids get a kick out of it.
I'm behind answering emails and visiting blogs because I've got what I call an allergy cold...same symptoms but it's allergies. Still makes me feel blehhhh on top of my infusion not working like I'd hoped. Anyway, I will be posting the Easter cards I made, but it may take me a bit to get back up to my usual activities. Just didn't want anyone thinking I was ignoring them. I'll catch up.
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful Tuesday!

That Easter card is adorbs!!!
Oh my goodness! What a fantastic manner you chose to showcase the 2 "half circles", Aimes! And the gold EP is fantastic - it really is eye catching against the shiny blue and sparkly ivory in the background. I have the delicata ink pads and would you believe they are still virginal? How have I allowed that to happen? Now I want to use them. Your cards always tell a cute story, and this one does not dissapoint! Wishing you a great day with those "disco" balls! (giggle)

This is so cool!!! I love it! I haven't even started Easter cards yet. I'm so behind right now. Sorry to hear about your allergies acting up. We're both dealing with The Ugly weather. I got a good laugh out of your Clint Eastwood analogy. LOL Your daughter and son in love are going to love this card.
Absolutely adorably CUTE and a fabulous design!!

That bunny card sounds perfect for your daughter and your son-in-love. I've never been to Austen but I hear from people it's a great music town, so it sounds like they're living in a good spot. That's a fun bunny sax player and I really like that gold design behind him too. It's perfect for TIOT so thanks for joining our new spring challenge. And thanks for the book recommendations. The cold war spy one sounds great, and I found an under $5 copy on ebay so I ordered that. Have a great rest of your week and Easter also in case you don't post or I don't get by your blog before then. Hugs-Erika
A fabulous and fun card Aimeslee.
Have a lovely Easter weekend.

Wow Aimeslee, once again you have come up with the most brilliant idea for a card. Your young folk will be sure to love it! Great use of the 'glitter globe' Thank you so much for joining us at Try It On Tuesday, Chrisx
Hey darlin' Happy Easter. Thank you for sharing a happy story. Your card has me starring. It's gorgeous with multi coloured edging. My daughter surprised us all with an ice cream truck when we exited the church so for years I used Stampin' Up!'s ice cream truck for their anniversary.
I love this one Aimeslee. You have used one of my favourite digital musicians. Just adorable.

Your card really made me smile. So personalized and perfect for them as you described how they met and what they enjoy. It was fun to see the back of the card decorated, too. I never think of that. So great!
This is completely fabulous! Love the whole concept of the funky musical bunny and all the details, sentiment and stencilling that goes with it - great job!
Thanks so much for joining us this time at I Spy With My Little Eye challenge.
