Krafty Chicks challenge #764 - CAS

Good morning lovely friends. I hope you're all doing ok and having a great week so far. It's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and this week we are on Week 3; and as always the theme is 'CAS (clean and simple)' and Diane is our hostess. Now we know that CAS is subjective but generally it's lots of white space, no embellishments (or very few) and an uncluttered design.  It can be a difficult design to pull off but we hope you will take on the challenge and come over and join in the fun with us.

I haven't made any Easter cards yet this year and I've recently received the cutest set from Spellbinders so wanted to at least use it once this year!  I love the adorable bunnies in this set.  I love this card and may try and make a few more for my family but perhaps make the backgrounds different pastel shades for some variation.  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the sweet bunny:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by stamping the bunny onto alcohol marker friendly card and coloured him with Promarkers.  I added a few white gelly roll pen highlights and then cut him out with the coordinating die.  For my background I cut a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and stamped the circle in a muted lemon ink.  I stamped the flowers from the stamp set in a mid grey ink and coloured them with Promarkers.  I stamped the sentiment in the top left corner in black ink (I did try the mid grey ink first but it looked a little washed out so stamped over it with the black.  I added some scrap white card behind my panel with double sided tape and then adhered it to my card base, again using double sided tape.  The bunny was adhered over the circle with thin foam squares.  No embellishments but I really like it the way it is.  For the inside I cut another white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and repeated the stamping to mimic the front.  I added a secondary sentiment in the upper centre again using black ink.  The panel was added onto the card base with double sided tape.  This is about as CAS as I can get but I really like this design.
