Happy Spring

Hello, everyone!  I'm back again today with another card! I haven't played over at IO Blog for a long time, and today I was inspired by their fun Think Spring challenge.

I really had fun making this card with my Impression Obsession dies and stamps. First I die-cut the basket in pale yellow and sponged Antique Linen Distress Ink on the handle and around the opening of the basket to add dimension.  I filled the basket with two die-cut bunnies, some tall grass, and three stamped and die-cut purple flowers, accented with gems. I also added some tall grass behind the basket.

Next I created a background by sponging Tumbled Glass Distress Ink using a cloud template (printed from Netty's Cards - thank you!) for the sky, and sponged Shabby Shutters Distress Ink towards the bottom to represent the grassy landscape.  I added two die-cut grass borders in front of the basket and two strips of striped DP along the top and bottom edges of my card.  I stamped a sentiment in CTMH Cotton Candy and finished off the card by adding two butterflies, accented with gems. I love how this turned out!  Here is a detailed list of the Impression Obsession dies and stamps I used, including links:

• Bunny Set DIE043-G
• Basket DIE039-T

My card was also inspired by the 200th challenge celebration over at The Friday Mashup.  I chose two of their previous challenges to mash up: Challenge 98 - Option 2 - Bunnies and Challenge 14 - Option 1 - Flowers.
