Simple Small Easter Bunny Cards

These cards measure 4ins x 4ins square and used white pre-scored, smooth card blanks from The Range. (Pack of 50 - £3.99)

The intention was to make a card for each of the children in the class I listen to read every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.

The self adhesive rabbits came from Home Bargains, which I believe were 79p for a pack of 8.  The wooden fences cost me an unbelievable 20p for a pack of ten a little while ago from a seller online.

There’s no real great shakes to the cards.  I started with a 3.75cm square of blue paper to which I added a background of green, small patterned paper, adding faux stitching round the edges and a greeting using with a black fine liner pen.

The squares were then stuck to the card blank, followed by the fence, glued on with E-7000 for a really safe and secure fix and then the bunny.

To add a little springtime colour I put small, Fimo clay, nail art flowers on the fence and grass and three small, yellow, punched butterflies to complete the look along with a few clusters of three dots to subtly fill in the empty spaces.

I’ve made ten so far, another twenty to go!  These will be put in a named envelope with a chocolate bunny attached, to celebrate the end of the spring term.  The school terms really seems to be racing away with us this year!
