Hi there! Today I'm sharing the projects featured in this post on the Poppystamps blog as well. If you have a chance, I'd be thrilled if you stopped by to say hi :) click HERE. I created a couple of Easter projects featuring a variety of products from the New Spring 2017 Release along with other fun Poppystamps products. To create the background. I stamped the pretty flower bouquet from the Friends and Flowers stamp set in a heart shape then water colored using an oil crayon.

I created a meadow scene featuring die cut Preppy Flowers along with a Serene Rabbit:

I embellished with Stitched Butterfly Trio butterflies, Freida Leaf foliage and Pretty Stitches borders to name a few:

For the title, I used the Happy Easter Egg die:

Up next is an Easter card featuring another fun scene featuring Preppy Flowers and a Serene Rabbit:
