Step by Step:

1. Tear green cardstock slightly smaller than a square card and ink the edges with blue ink. Glue centrally.
2. Trim blue plaid paper to measure slightly smaller and piece a border all around the edge. Ink and pinch the edges to distress and then glue centrally.
3. Die-cut a scalloped square and ink the edges. Trim a panel of the pink swirl Spring Chic patterned paper to fit in the centre. Ink the edges and glue in place on the scalloped squares. Add a faux-stitched border using a white gel pen. Secure the panel centrally using 3D foam pads.
4. Apply green gingham ribbon across the card and glue in place.
5. Assemble the bunny decoupage, leaving out the base section (save this for another project!) and position to the left hand side of the central panel.
6. Ink the edges of a ‘Just For You’ sentiment and apply to the right hand side of the decoupage character using 3D foam pads to secure.
7. Add gemstones to each corner of the central panel to complete.
