Mimi Easter

I don't usually send Easter cards, but wanted one for my mother-in-law, and couldn't resist this little cutie of Mimi from Stampfairy holding a little Easter chick.  Those bunny ears are just adorable!

This project is to support the Paper Piecing challenge at Top Tip Tuesday.  I've digitally paper pieced Mimi's dress, shoes, head band and hair scrunchies with the same Nitwits paper that I used on the card.



Card Recipe:
I've been inspired by:
  • Simon's Wednesday Challenge - Easter
  • Cute Card Thursday - Easter
  • Papertake Weekly - Easter
Happy crafting

Aww she's very sweet! Fab papers and layout, and love how you've arranged the ribbon too... very pretty :o) Hugs, Lisa x

She is so cute and gorgeous Annette.. perfectly paper pieced too! And I love how you've put that shaped sentiment alongside the floral oval... I would never have thought of doing that but it really looks good.. probably because it balances the bow on the other side. Another idea for my 'how to add sentiments' list... as I DO struggle!!

Bunny ears, a chick and some eggs - this image really has all the Easter bases covered doesn't it?! And it *is* super cute too!
The pastel shades and florals are gorgeous and Spring-like too :-)
