Easter Bunny Builder Punch Card AYSI346

Today I'm sharing my design team card for our new challenge over at As you See It where it's time for a fun 'fill in the blank' challenge chosen by Heather C:

This will be fun! Retired and discontinued products that I've kept - well, far too many for sure!! I used both the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Sketch for my layout and the pretty colour palette over at Colour Inkspiration as both were perfect for me to highlight not just one, but a number of items that I could use to fill in our blank this week - take a look:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

Now you could be forgiven for thinking that I took my inspiration from the sketch and colour inspiration picture quite literally, but the truth is it was a complete coincidence that today's card features a bunny! I tend to make my Easter cards a year in advance (I rarely make them early enough to send if I make them the same year), so having sent out all of this year's cards, I needed to start replenishing my stock. My retired Bunny Builder Punch is just perfect for the job and it is definitely a punch I wouldn't part with (I kept the co-ordinating stamp set too, although I haven't used it on today's card). There are a few other retired favourites on today's card too: the Itty Bitty Punches I used for the flowers that decorate my cute bunny (I can't tell you how many offers I've had from people to buy these, but they are so useful - I will keep them forever!), the 'Happy Easter' greeting (this comes from the 'Welcome Easter' stamp set) and the scalloped panel (cut using the retired Scalloped Contours Dies). With the exception of the colours and cardstock, the only thing current on today's card is the Country Lace designer paper that I used for my background. It's the retired bunny though that is the scene-stealer here:

Isn't she just the cutest?! So nice to give some retired favourites some love for this challenge - I can't wait to see the things that have made it into your 'keep' collection too.

There's no visual summary of the key products used on today's project today, since they are pretty much all retired - I've added shop links for any product that is current below.
