My card is not an original idea…but it’s one of my favorite Easter cards that I see in stores every year! I used the Lawn Fawn Eggstra Special Easter and stamped the two bunnies in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the bunnies and their bows with copic markers and added a little clear wink of stella to the bows. Ha, I intentionally tried to color the bunnies to look like chocolate bunnies otherwise it’s a little disturbing that one is missing an ear! 😉
I die-cut some grass with the Lawn Fawn Grassy Border die and adhered it over the bunnies. Next, I stamped the sentiments using Lawn Fawn A Birdie Told Me for the speech bubbles, Eggstra Special Easter, and Jessie’s ABCs. And finally I cut the pink border with the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles die set and adhered the pieces to a top-folding white card.
And just for fun, here is my cute bunny, Cookie!

CHERYL L. says
Love the real bunny!! I had a white one when I was a kid – Thumper. Oh, and I like the card, too! Cute!
Vickey E. says
Your card is precious and so is Cookie! Does she like to snuggle? Do you let her out much?
jessica frost-ballas says
Vickey, yes my bunny is quite spoiled! She has a bedroom pretty much to herself and lives in a carpeted pen. When we’re home she has free range of the house and she can often be found chasing the dogs or cat around. She rules the herd…all of our pets are afraid of her! 😉
Kris says
I love how you used 2 bunnies on this sweet card AND you have a real bunny! So cute.
jessica frost-ballas says

Amy M. C. says
I love your card! I need to get that grass die!
D.Ann C says
Cookie… as in OREO?! What a cutie! And yes, it’s a good thing they’re chocolate or it WOULD be disturbing to have a bunny with a bite out of his ear (cover your eyes, Cookie!).
jessica frost-ballas says
Ha ha yes, she was a rescue bunny but I believe she was named for her similar coloring to an oreo cookie! 😉 We had already named our other bunny Nestle so we thought Cookie and Nestle were a great duo! 🙂
Donna Bowman says
