IO Blog Hop- Dies- Final Day

 

Welcome to the last day of the blog hop. Before I talk about today's card, I wanted to talk about the card I posted yesterday.  After I read the comments to the post, I realized that people didn't know that I used a die that coordinated with the daisies.  There was no fussy cutting involved...thank goodness!

Here is a picture of the dies I used to cut out the daisies:

I then used the clear daisy stamps to stamp on top of the cut-out daisies:

Very, very easy!

For today's card, I used a basket stamp with coordinating die as well as a chocolate bunny with coordinating die.  I also used an egg die as well as a grass border die.
