Inspiration: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday (Create a Scene) + Global Design Project #179 + Tuesday Morning Sketch #493
This card changed format quite a few times before it was finished. Mainly because I started working on it over a week ago, based on some challenges that were online at that time. I had to leave it aside and when I came back to it, the challenges were over. I had only stamped and colored the images, so I was able to go back to current challenges and find another sketch to design around. This sweet set is called Eggstra Amazing Easter and is part of the latest Lawn Fawn release. The little chocolate bunny is just so cute! I colored the inside of its ears with a pale taupe to mimick white chocolate.
The colorful papers are from Doodlebug's Spring Things line, which was relesased during a previous year. I was reminded while creating this card why the Spring lines are rarely the ones I gravitate towards. (I'm all over fall and Holidays stuff - the Spring stuff, not so much.) It's all the flowers and the pastel shades. Not what I'm naturally inclined towards. Because the sketch was leaving blank space on the left of the card, I used that space to stamp my sentiment. I usually switch to something in French, but the "May your basket be full of joy (and chocolate)" was so perfect and funny, I decided to use it. This reminds me of my mom, who's a choco-aholic (a trait which I inherited from her).
