When it comes to Easter 'critters,' most of us think of bunnies and chicks, but not sheep. I just laughed out loud when I saw this image from Bugaboo Stamps. It felt like a take-off on the Cadbury Chocolate commercials about everyone wanting to be the Easter Bunny. :-D
I started by coloring the image with ProMarkers and pencils, then I cut it with a die from QuicKutz. The frame behind it was cut from blue CS with a Sue Wilson die. Because the die cut was narrower than what I wanted, I cut it in the middle (lengthwise) and attached one half to each side of my image rectangle.
I wrapped stitched, satin ribbon around the card front, added the framed image, and then used one of my signature, hand-sewn bows with a pearl. Quick and easy design but the fancy frame makes it look much more complex.

Well, my weekend is winding down and I still have weeds to pull and plants to put in the family vegetable garden. My granddaughter is going to help out and I'll be most grateful for that. These old bones don't bend over as easily as they used to do. Well, bending isn't really the problem - it's getting back to an upright stance that doesn't happen the way it did a few years ago. :-D

SO adorable, love the bunny years and your sentiment, I always think of Easter with lambs, here in Wales, they are certainly out with their funny lamb ways.

I hear you loud and clear about getting back up after you get down. It's amazing and to think we used to just bounce back up in a heartbeat!
I LOVE that image AND your card. Yes, I laughed out loud when I saw it too. Too cute and fun and a great card!
Have fun planting your garden. Yummy!!!

This card is brilliant! Great idea on cutting the die cut to stretch it.
I hear you on the bones and their reluctance to cooperate like they once did.
