A Baby Horse and an Easter Bunny

A twofer with animals today!

For Simply Clean and Simple, the theme is Baby Animals.  And AAA Cards is "Zoo or Animals".

I sponged Distress inks onto cs, and then stamped the horses (using my MISTI to get a good strong silhouette image).  I trimmed the panel with a hemstitch square die and layered over pink cs.  My sister's riding coach is having a baby girl so she asked me to make a horse-themed card for her to take to the baby shower.

Then for two Easter challenges - Double D and Festive Friday.  The Festive Friday elements I used are pastel colours, rabbit, Easter eggs, and Easter greeting.

I stamped the eggs from the old SU Nature Walk set in pastel shades of blue and then fussy cut them.  I arranged them on focal panel and then inked and spritzed some pastel green leaves around them, and sponged in some pastel blue in the spaces.  The rabbit is die cut from a leftover scrap of pale brown/beige smooshing.  I sat him on the biggest of the eggs and added a small sentiment.
