card swap march card {easter theme}

Dear Diary, 3rd post today! wow! here is my march card swap card it was an easter theme. another crapy pic. but it says "but i thought you liked it when i nibbled on your ear...." inside says "happy easter anyway" ok this card has green glitter on the side stripes that you cannot see in the pic. also i played with this one since it was mine & i embossed the bunnies with brown embossing powder to give them the shiny effect like real choc. bunnies. {i wish i would have thought to do it on the cards i swaped and not after the fact} well anyway they were really fun to make. i usually make 6x6 cards & i really don't know why...i just like them :) well nite nite i really am goin to bed now! angelia
