PETER COTTONTAIL HOPPING DOWN THE BUNNY TRAIL...

This is the second project from my Easter Big Shot Class.  This card combines our Big Shot Build-a-Bear Dies with Punch Art.  Every since I first saw the Bear Die last summer, I have been planning a Peter Cottontail with it.  It just fits the traditional "Easter Bunny" so well!  I have made lots of other characters and have more planned with this die as well.

The card is larger than standard A2 cards so that I could fit his ears standing straight up!  He just wouldn't look the same with floppy ears.  It will fit in a 5 x 7 envelope though.  Enjoy!
