Happy Hoppers Easel card

The challenge this week over at ISC was to make an easel card. I knew right away what image and sentiment I wanted to use but had one of those days where I struggled to pick out the right patterned papers, border punches, and any embellies! I tried so many different combinations of colors and papers- my craft desk is a total mees now! I walked away from it for a few hours and was determined to finish the card. I finally decided on the plaid paper and had to stamp the sentiment a few times.....crooked once and an oops stamping too! I somehow got it all done. It still isn't that great to me.....wishing I had stuck with my orginal idea, but it will have to do. Directions for making and easel card can be found here.

Do you ever struggle with a certain card ? Please tell me yes- and that I'm not the only nutball that does this.

I painted the wings with pearlescent white for some "wow" factor, and also added glossy accents to the flower, tops of the antenna, and the one bunny's eye. Added a bit of yellow/gold shimmer paint to the body as well. I'm most pleased with the coloring of the image. A friend sent me these images but I just might have to buy this stamp- I can think of so many other occassions it can be used for!
