Two little bunnies

Hi there,

when I first saw the challenge for Just Add Ink this week - I was a bit daunted where do you start when the challenge is "Just add dimension - think outside the square". But the DT had some great examples. And then suddenly an idea burst into my head - I think I would have to say it was inspiration by chocolate - sadly no not by eating it but the prospect of eating it perhaps. I think all those easter eggs in the supermarket must have been getting to me.... What am I babbling about well here is the result.

A lovely friend of mine made some easter baskets for an annual easter get together we have with friends, where the kids have an easter hunt. I (of course) kept the gorgeous basket on which Sam had made a very cute punch art bunny on the box. See this post of Sam's for her basket. Sam's bunny was my inspiration start point for my bunny egg band. The idea that sprang into my head was to add a sweet treat cup to the bunnies tummy and fill it with colour coordinating smarties. Because of the size of the sweet treat cups I had to use my circle nestabilites to find a scallop circle big enough for the fluffy bunny front and a plain circle to seal the back. I made an access port on the back using the 1" circle punch and the word window punch. That acts as the hinge and fastener at the same time. I just used my craft knife to cut a little slot for the end of the word window to slip into and hold it all shut. Just to keep all the bits secure I used sticky strip to stick all the punched pieces together.

Why pink and purple? Well it was supposed to be pink and blue but I couldn't find a blue egg - so my boyo got a purple bunny. I don't think he minded ;) Needless to say the eggs are no longer intact!

Thanks for visiting,

Kim
