A pretty basket of Easter eggs...

 

I had this blue embossed piece in my card parts. It had already been inked to better show the embossed design. I am certain I did that by gently swiping an enk pad across the top of it.

I matted it with a navy blue cardstock and adhered it to the card front. 

I cut a small white rectangle with a coin-edge die and stamped it with "Happy Easter."

The basket was in my Easter box, a die-cut left over from last year. After inking it a bit for more dimension, I punched out a few pieces of greenery, die-cut some eggs and filled the basket.

I glued the basket to the white rectangle, putting one of the extra pieces of greenery under the lower right corner, as if it had fallen out of the basket.

After popping the rectangle up on the card front, I knotted a short piece of navy blue, sheer ribbon and adhered it to the basket handle.

I stamped a sentiment on the inside and added a couple of eggs with some of the punched greenery. With those ready-made card parts, this card was done in a flash!

We had a beautiful Palm Sunday here. The weather was perfect for spending some time outside--no jacket required! Some of the trees are beginning to form buds, which means that a steady stream of warmer weather is truly on the way.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
