Cottonberry Creations: Cute Easter/ Spring card

Cute Easter/ Spring card

I decided to make this cute and girly Easter card using lovely bright and cheerfull colours. I wanted my card to look a bit like a flower head and I think my idea worked out ok. I just love the shaped buttons and thought they would be perfect for this card. I found the cute Bunny while having a massive craft clear out and faux stitched round the edges of the card to make it stand out a bit more. I know just the cute little girl who will get this card at Easter.

Here is the list of the many challenges that I have entered:-
