Instructions -
Run the Brown half-sheet through the "Swiss Dots" embossing folder. Then run the Grass Green piece through the "Stylized Flowers" embossing folder and glue the Green piece to the Brown card base. Set aside for now.
Take the pre-measured White card stock and stamp the following:
Fluffy Grass in Sage ink
Forget Me Nots in Old Rose and Cinnamon
Winter Branch in Bark. Tear the top portion of the paper and then brown all the edges with the Umber ink. Set aside for now.
Take a White card stock scrap and stamp a horizontal strip using the following:
Fluffy Grass in Green Tea ink
Forget Me Nots in Old Rose.
Then cut out the grass and the flowers.
Set aside for a moment.
Using another White scrap and Bark ink, stamp the Classic Bunny. Use a Peach colored pencil to lightly color the bunny in and then cut it out. Glue the Bunny to the Grass cut-out you made earlier and shape the cut-outs so that the bunny is rounded (I used a peg stamp to shape the Bunny on the Grass before the glue dried). Pick up the pre-measured White piece you stamped earlier and, using the Brads fasten the Bunny and the Grass to it. Set aside for a moment.
Assemble the Red and Brown pre-measured papers. Run the Brown piece through the "Swiss Dots" embossing folder, then tear the top portion away. Glue this piece on top of the Green portion of the card-front. Then tear the top portion of the Red Designer Paper and glue on top of the Brown piece. Last, glue down the White stamped piece with the Bunny and the Grass on top of the Red Designer Paper. Set aside for a moment.
Make the Sentiment Medallion
Use Soft Wheat ink and stamp a random pattern of Fluffy Grass on a White scrap of paper. Stamp "Happy Spring" in Bark ink on top of the Soft Wheat background. Then stamp some Forget Me Nots in Old Rose. When this dries, line up the sentiment in the punch and punch out. Edge with Umber ink. Let it dry and then glue the square to a slightly larger Dark Brown scrap. Glue again, this time to a Red designer paper scrap and trim away all but 1-1/4-inches. Attach two Adhesive Pearls to the medallion and glue the medallion to the card front.
Then run the "Brownery" behind the Bunny and the Grass, tie the ribbon, and you're finished!
