I downloaded an image from a vintage Easter card. The flowers were punched from the pale lavender, then used direct-to-paper inking with Colorbox violet inkpad. Centers were punched from a mini-punch and glued on. (Edited to add that I used the Martha Stewart fern branch punch for leaves.)
I had to keep this fairly simple because I am making 20 kits to take to a memory care (Alzheimers/dementia) unit for an Easter card making session. Not sure of their abilities, so I wanted to keep actual stamping to a minimum. I have pre-cut, colored, etc. They can choose their colors and embellishments (different colored bows, card base, some butterflies [not shown here], color of flowers, some pearls for flower centers). I hope they have fun!

That vintage Easter bunny image is beautiful! I love how you made the flowers too. What a wonderful card project you've created for the memory care unit's residents.
