Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are using some of the product which is due to retire in early May. I have made an Easter card for my daughter and son in law using the adorable Playing in the Rain stamp set and the Country Lace dsp.

To recreate playing in the rain Easter card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

Basic White card – 3½” by 3½”

The panel of Country Lace designer series paper was glued to the 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White card. I wrapped a length of Iridescent Striped Ribbon was wrapped around the panel before it was adhered to the Pool Party card front.

The adorable bunny image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the die cut stitched circle. The same image was stamped in the same ink onto a scrap Country Lace dsp and the bunny’s waistcoat was fussy cut and then paper pieced onto the original image.

The sentiment, from the retired Welcome Easter stamp set was stamped onto the strip of Basic White card in Night of Navy ink. I cut the sentiment apart and added it to the card front.
