Easter Tree

Welcome

Just a quick post to join in the new 30 Day colouring Challenge


I discovered a wee Easter bunny card in my letter box the other day - courtesy of the neighbour's young daughter. 💗

This is the card that I coloured today and popped into their letter box, then texted her Mum to let her know.  One young girl was very happy to have her own mail (card).😀


I printed out an image which was a freebie from Carmen of Beyond the Fringe and coloured it with my Polychromos coloured pencils, then added metallic pen accents.


My placement of the image on the page wasn't very accurate, so filled the gap on the right with a piece of gold sticky tape.
The sentiment is hand lettered

I am linking this to:

May you all have a Happy Easter, despite the current situation.

Maxine: your card is precious and I'm sure your little neighbor will find delight in each different egg on this little tree!! What a sweet exchange!! I love the little bits of texture and sparkle that were added. Happy Easter! (and thanks so much for your online visits to my blog!)

Love your Easter tree. It reminds me of one I used to have many years ago. I don't remember now what happened to it, but it was fun decorating it.

What a super image for a little girl especially at Easter. Great opportunity for you to do your pencil colouring too. I can imagine you had as much fun colouring those eggs as the little girl had in receiving it. That was lovely of her to send you a card, nice to get mail at this time when we are in lockdown.
God Bless, Neet xx
