And, with Easter about a week away, I picked up the new Easter Basket set for some sweet treats! I just think this set is too fun for words because of the fact that you can build your own basket with treats you like! Jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, eggs... even PEEPS!
I colored my basket with Copics. I honestly just grabbed a marker here and a marker there. The only thing I am certain of is that the basket was done with Flourishes Flesh Tones 2 collection. the paper is from my dp stash -- just bits and pieces here and there. And, when all was said and done, I did glitz up the basket goodies with a dash of glitter glue!
The ribbon was paper pieced and... here's a fun effect! I stamped the basket, colored it a second time and cut just the basket portion and popped it up -- like this! 
I did that so that when you look at it, it looks more three dimensional! FUN! And that, my friends is it!
Be sure to stop by and say hi to the other Flourishes gals and see what set they picked up for their Friday creations!
As we speak, I'm off soaking in some "hot wadda" as they say! I kidnapped the family and we are taking a dip in the hot springs that aren't too far away. Every now and then you just have to say -- ok -- everyone get in the car!!!!! Don't you think?
See you back here soon!

Darling Easter card, great idea popping up the basket. Hope you enjoy the time away!
3-D basket, enticingly wrapped contents, and spring background layered in snappy color present a lovely sight indeed. Enjoy those hot springs through the rains of today and sunny weekend springy temps. Keep Looking UP!
Hope you had a lovely soak.
Such a terrific card.
This is just fabulous, Jewels! Love the way you popped up the basket ... very clever!

Lovely, I love that set also, really works well and so many variations can be used. Thanks for the inspiration to make some more cards with this set.
Really cute! Love the way to made the basket dimensional round. Kinda a duh for me!
