Most of all have fun!
A reasonably easy one.
Supplies needed:-
Animation Shop
Scrapkit by Lliella Designs called Easter Fun, if you buy quickly you will get the Alpha free!
This is a paid kit so I’m sorry I cant share but I’m sure there are plenty of free kits out there on the web that can be adapted to suit.
Font of choice I used 2 Peas Flower Pot and Alpha with kit
You will need some grass, I used the grass that came with the Moonica and friends kit by Lliella (if you followed my tuts with this kit you will have the grass)
Mask by Becky
Lets get started!
Open a new canvas 800 x 600 and floodfill white.
When I put paste as new layer, use my tag for placement of that element.
New raster layer/flood fill with paper 12.
Open the mask
Layers/new mask layer/from image
Choose the mask from the drop down menu.

Ok
Delete mask layer/merge group.
Open the BunnyCart 1
Resize/edit/copy/edit/paste as new layer.
Open the 2 chicks.
Resize/edit/copy/edit/paste as new layers.
Drag these layers below the cart.
Duplicate each of the bunny's and place one on top of the other, I used the spiky hair as a guide to get them exactly into place.
Add your grass, duplicate, drag one layer of grass above the cart.
Open the woodsigns 2 & 3
Resize/edit/copy/paste as new layers
(make the one that is going to have your name on a little larger than the "this way" sign)
Open the eggs/flowers/vine
Resize/edit/copy/paste as new layers
Open the Cloud/rainbow/sun
Resize/edit/copy/paste as new layers
Open the Fun word art from the alpha.
Resize/edit/copy/paste as new layer.
Add the word "Easter" using the font I used or one of your own, I used colour #653d29 for this.
Add your name onto the blank sign.
This is next bit can be a bit tricky but just be patient!
Add drop shadow to the blank sign I used:-
V&H2
Opacity 50, blur 5, colour black.
Duplicate the blank sign and drag this layer above the cloud.
Now grab your eraser tool and play around erasing parts of the duplicated sign so it looks like it is below and above the cloud and also so your name re-appears!
