Instructions for Card:

From the scrapbook papers, choose the white paper with the pink polka dots and cut a piece sized 10" x 7" from this paper.
Score it lengthwise to create a card sized 5" x 7".
Now use the next piece of paper from this series, i.e. brown with pink circles. Cut a piece sized 4.6" x 6.2" and use the border punch to create a border all around this piece of paper. Use the inbuilt guide to align each part of the border before punching. Once done, the paper should have a size of 4.2" x 6.2".
With the fold at the left, centre and glue the paper with the punched border to the front of the card.
Trace the template of the Easter egg onto the pink paper with the white polka dots from this scrapbook paper series.
Cut out the Easter egg. Glue the ribbon across the egg and cut off any protruding edges.
Center and glue the egg to the front of the card.
Trace the Easter bunny onto the pink marbled paper, and cut it out.
Use glue to cover the whole bunny with the cerise pink flat back crystal beads. Allow to dry thoroughly.
Tip: Use tweezers to help move the crystal beads into their appropriate places.
Glue the bunny to the front of the card.
Use the gem stickers to add the words HAPPY EASTER to the card.
From the sheet of pink sugar paper, cut a piece sized 9.6" x 6.6" and fold it in half. Glue to the inside of the card to write a message.
