An Easter Thank You

What a beautiful Easter! I hope you all had an enjoyable easter weekend and were able to enjoy our beautiful weather. It was so nice that spent as much time as we could outside working in the yard, relaxing, and catching up with neighbors. Yesterday one of our neighbors was nice enough to invite us over for Easter dinner (we love how great our neighbors are!). I wanted to thank them for their hospitality to I decided to whip up a quick thank you note and used this weeks Stamping 411 sketch challenge to get started.

I started with a piece of Sending Love DSP (I love this paper!) and matted on a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I wrapped a piece of Organza Ribbon around the paper before adhering to the Pretty in Pink card base. The stamped image is from the Picinic Parade hostess set and works perfectly for easter. I added several of the images to the clear block at once before stamping it with Chocolate Chip ink to create the scene. Then I filled it in with some of the smaller images individually. Then I used various Stampin' Write Markers to color in the scene. This piece was then matted on Barely Banana cardstock. I stamped and colored in the "thanks" from the same set and then punched it out with the Oval Punch and poped it up with Dimensionals on a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch.

The last piece was 2 butterflies that had been cut out earlier and were just sitting on my desk waiting to be used that I layered on top of each other before placing them on the card.

Definately a springy card which neighbors will enjoy. Take care and have a great week!
