Easter Time is coming..bring on the Bunnies!

This week's challenge at The Hambo Hoedown  is to get in the Easter Spirit using the digi image: BUNNY PARADE - digital image by Hambo Stamps"Using "Bunny Parade" (or any other Hambo image), make an EASEL CARD using the spring colors of lavenderyellowpinkgreen and blue! Choose at least THREE of those colors for your card. (Bonus points if you use all five!)  Yeah, I was able to use all five colors what with the paper and the coloring~~~ 
I absolutely love this glossy embossed swirl paper as the background and hand cut a scalloped circle for the base mat to match.  The Salutation is matted with a coordinated striped paper and mounted with 3 flower brads.  The Spring pointed sign  is from Memory Makers is a glittery blue and green. 
 For the Easel part on the base, I used a speckled green paper mounted with pop dots and then I put fence die cuts from my friend Karissa across it and the points on the fence help to hold up the front.  Along the fence are the multiple eggs that are part of the image.  For an extra pop, I attached 2 triple layered felt flowers  


I'm so glad that I was "challenged" to do something I've never done before --I can't wait to try others!!  Thanks for looking and hope you've been inspired  to try a new style of cards-If I can do it you can!
