Time for us to welcome Spring and what better way than with the new Uniko Studio Challenge #46 (Mar/April)~ Colour, with an optional twist of Easter.
Pastel colours, Easter bunnies, Easter eggs, polka dots, swirls, stripes...oh my!
The gateways of inspiration are unlimited!
Joining us as our Guest Designer for this challenge is uber-talented, innovative, witty and sweet Michele. Her card is simply amazing; please visit her HERE and leave her some love. She'll be thrilled!
First, one little Some Bunny nestled inside a frame created by embossing the Scattered Polka Dots Stencil then inking with pigment ink. I LOVE that the Uniko stencils emboss beautifully!
A second Some Bunny, paired with an embossed Scattered Polka Dots Stencil background and a Scattered Polka Dots stamped egg. LOVE this bunny; that face! ACK! He's the only Easter bunny I have, or need, for that matter! He deserves plenty of stage time this time of year which I'm happy to accommodate (and he makes for a cute baby card, too!)
The pastel colours called for creating patterned backgrounds, so I designed two panels.
The first uses English Country Garden Butterflies flitting and fluttering over the panel, and a sentiment from the wonderfully versatile All Occasions Sentiments #6 set.
My second patterned background features Nature's Treasures II, with the pretty birthday sentiment from Simply Said Birthday.
Because the supplies were out, I couldn't resist another butterfly card: English Country Garden Butterflies and All Occasions Sentiments #6.
Finally, a set that recently joined my collection came out for a play: Happy Succulents paired with the bold Thanks from All Occasions Sentiments #6
Whew...yes, I went overboard; thank you so much for sticking with me!

Ooh you've been having lots of fun in your craft room! What a wonderful array of cards. I particularly like the card with Natures Treasures - I would never have thought of pairing it with pastel colours but it works beautifully! X
A fab selection Carol. Love the butterfly one, I had to liberate two painted ladies from my kitchen yesterday, they must have come in with the logs! :)
What a lovely assortment of beautiful spring cards, Carol. I hope it actually arrives for you soon, but you do well when you are dreaming of it! The bunny is so sweet and has such a happy look about his face. Love the polka dots. You know butterflies make me swoon and your two cards with them are just gorgeous. And thanks to you, I got so see some beautiful flowers, too. Wonderful work, my friend! Wow, you have been very busy! Yay! Hugs!

Wow girl, you were on a roll. But that's the way to do it. The ideas just keep flowing and you have to go with it. I love that bunny and I do have him in my stash.
