Welcome to the Pals March 2018 Blog Hop. Our theme this month is “Spring has Sprung”. The Stampin’ Pretty Pals will inspire you with Spring or Spring-related projects. You may see floral, Easter or other general Spring-inspired designs. You may be just starting or hopped over from another Pal. In either case you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

I decided to make an Easter card for today.  Although my card without the added bunny would be great for many occasions.  I think I just have chocolate bunnies on my mind 🙂

Blossoming Basket, 147124

My little bunny is sort of tucked into the flowers, but he was what I wanted for Easter.  And it is not too far out there to imagine receiving a basket of flowers with a chocolate bunny mixed in.

I used a couple of stamp sets to get this card completed.  The basket of flowers is from Blossoming Basket, a SAB item.  The Happy Easter sentiment is from You’re Inspiring, and the bunny is from A Good Day.  However, I could have made the exact same card, minus bunny, with just the Blossoming Basket as there are two great sentiments in that set.

COLOR COMBINATION:

I pulled my color combination from the beautiful DSP.  It is the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper.  It is definitely a WOW.  I could have added the Peekaboo Peach to the combination as well.  I chose that instead of yellow for the flowers.  Using the Stampin’ Blends are so addicting and just down right FUN !!

I separated the basket and the sentiment to allow more of the beautiful colors from the DSP to show.  But because the white space is pretty big on the basket and sentiment, the business of the DSP does not overpower.  I hope you like this layout.

I appreciate you visiting today.  The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the post.
