Pretty Patterns Sketch Challenge

Today's card is for the Pretty Patterns 01 challenge over at My Time Made Easy. Here is the sketch.

This sketch really caught my eye so, I thought I would use the opportunity to make some Easter cards at the same time.  I also took some inspiration from a lovely card by the very talented Teneale Williams.

I started with a Crumb Cake base, sponged around the edge with Crumb Cake ink. I then took some Baja Breeze, Regal Rose and Orchid Opulence cardstock and stamped the flourish from Easter Blossoms in Versamark. I sponged these around the edge with the co-ordinating ink.

I layered two pieces of Very Vanilla card, one punched with the Scallop Border Punch and one stamped with the same flourish and the sentiment, also from Easter Blossoms. These were stamped in Crumb Cake, but I stamped them off on a scrap piece of paper first to lighten the image.

I then stamped the eggs in the same colours as the background cardstock, cut these out and raised them with dimensionals. The ribbon and bows are Very Vanilla and I added a pearl as an extra feature.

I wasn't sure about this card when I first finished it, but it is growing on me.
