Bunny Delivery

Hello everyone! I am thrilled to be the hostess for the new challenge at the Sisterhood of Crafters beginning today. Now that spring has finally arrived and Easter is just around the corner I have chosen the theme:

"Chicks 'n Bunnies"

My project for this challenge is an Easter basket for my husband to satisfy his sweet tooth.

The basket was created using a 12" x 12" sheet of yellow textured card stock.

First I scored at 4" and 8" inches on one side, then turned the card stock and scored again at 4" and 8" inches. Cut two opposite sides on the scored 4" and 8" score lines down to the 4" score line for the basket bottom to create the flaps. Use red line tape to put the basket together. The band is created with 2  1 3/4" strips of patterned card stock wrapped around the basket and adhered with red line tape. The handle of the basket is a strip of 1 1/2" yellow card stock with a 1 1/4" strip of pattern paper and adhered 1" below rim of basket on each side.

To create the bunny, I punched a 2 1/2" scallop circle and a 2" scallop circle for the body. The ears were punched from white card stock using a  1 3/4" oval punch and pink card stock using a 1 1/4" oval punch. The whiskers were fussy cut to about 1/8" wide by 2". A small heart punch and pink card stock were used to make the nose and the eyes are 3/4" circles punched from black paper.

The white in the eyes were made by placing the scallops from a 1 3/4" scalloped circle halfway into the 1/4" whole punch.

The bunny was adhered to the basket using a strip of foam tape.

Stop by the Sisterhood and check out the beautiful inspiration projects by my sistah's, then join in the fun. 

Have a wonderful day!
