Clarenda's Carrot Surprise

It's Friday and it is Totally PaperCrafts Easter Challenge.  I really had some fun with this one.  My friend Kim of Oak Pond Creations drew this cute little carrot called Clarenda Carrot and was offering it for free.  I just fell in love with the sweet little face swirly flowing leaves and of course a darling little bow.  The minute I saw Clarenda I imagined her in a wreath shape.  Who could be happiest in a wreath of carrots?  Well the Easter Bunny of course!  So I dug out Cheryl Alger's Butterfly Bunny and popped him right in the middle of his greatest dream!  The ole' guy thought he won the lottery!  Of course I had to pop a big ole'' on my card to finish it off, didn't I?

I don't think the pictures allow you to see the dimension and texture I have going on in this card.  I printed and colored the bunny twice and popped him up with foam tape.  Clarenda's leaves are popped, curled up, and glued flat.  You can play with the leaves and ruffle them up a bit.  It makes the card a bit interactive and provides the illusion of the bunny hiding in and popping out of the greenery.  It' is really a fun card IRL.   I used a MS doily for a base to the wreath and my paper is all from my stash.  Sorry I can't give you a designer name.  Once again I cut the label strip off and threw it away before writing up my blog entry.  Sorry my space is so limited where I craft that I have to keep it relatively clear just to find anything.  LOL  (Can any of you feel my pain?)
