High Hopes Easter

Good Saturday evening! I hope you all plan to show your support for the Earth and switch off your lights at 8:30 pm your local time for one hour. It's all part of a movement called Earth Hour.  Now onto today's card...

This is my last-minute entry for this week's High Hopes Challenge #68 - Hoppy Easter! I stamped the image, titled Bunny With Gift, in Memento ink on PTI's Vintage Cream cardstock and layered on PTI Summer Sunrise cardstock.  I colored it with Copics, but kept it minimal. I have a limited number of Copics and all of my browns are dark. I felt too much dark brown would be a bit too much. What are your favorite tan and light brown Copics? I need to add a couple to my collection. The cardbase is PTI Lemon Tart and the patterned papers are DCWV. I punched the striped paper, which is a bit hard to see, with a Martha Stewart border punch who's name I can't recall. I finished it off with two Prima flowers and a dew drop center.

That is all from me for this post. Don't forget to turn off those lights! :) Have a wonderful night y'all.

Easter Eggs

Happy Tuesday! We had a beautiful weekend here in VA. The weather was in the high 70s. Today is a little cooler with an expected high of 61 and it's supposed to keep decreasing with each day till we get to the 40s for the weekend. I'm so ready for Spring.
I go back and forth with this card. I like it and then I don't. I didn't follow any sketch or challenge; just winged it as I went. The four egg stamps are from a package of Studio G. I believe Series 29, but I'm not 100% sure. I got them at ACMoore. The cardstock and patterend paper are both from DCWV 2008 Spring line. The flowers are Primas and the brads came with an order from My Favorite Things. And of course, my go-to embellishment - dew drops/skittles.
Any suggestions for a place to buy pre-scored 5.5 inch squared or 6 inch suqared cards, preferably in white? I have looked at my M's, J's, and ACM, but other than scalloped edged card blanks, I've had no luck. Thanks in advance. And with that, I'm off. Have a great day! :)
