Easter's Over?

      We all know about the Easter Bunny, but did you ever think about how long any one bunny can serve as the Easter Bunny?  I mean, that's a tough job hiding all those eggs and it's hard on the back and legs.  Easter Bunnies get worn out pretty quickly and have to retire to the Senior Bunny Center.  

     That means new (and younger) bunnies have to be trained to become the official Easter Bunny.  Classes of younger bunnies have to show their stuff and their suitability for that lofty position.  The competition is fierce and those who apply only have about 4 months to learn everything and be appointed for the job when there's an opening.  If they run late on their education, they'll miss their chance, and then it's over.  They'll never become the official Easter Bunny.

     I had to tell you that story so that your heart would be touched by this sad image from Beccy's Place.  I'm sure Beccy is one of the few people who already knew the story, as evidenced by this sweet "Little Bunny" image.  :-D

     Colored with ProMarkers and cut with a CUTplorations stitched die.  The background for the card front was made by coloring with water based markers on wet paper, then ironing it dry to set the colors.  The sentiment was printed and cut with a Cutz die.  It's a CAS design which will work for anyone.


     Challenges:

     See you again tomorrow, probably with another bunny.  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

I've never heard the story but it makes sense - and it's sad for the little bunnies that don't make the cut.
CUTE card and the bunny is darling. Love the way you did the background with the water based markers too.

Awwwwww... thank you for sharing that sweet story NanaConnie, it certainly made me look at the little bunny a bit differently. I love the way you've coloured the scene, and the rainbow background is awesome... perfect for an Easter card. Love it!
Cheers,
Beccy
