Back from a wk in Georgia. Hubby was on business in Duluth near Atlanta and I went along with him. He worked nights but when he was not sleeping/resting we enjoyed: Zoo Atlanta, company & dinner at Golden Seven Chinese/Thai/Vietnamese restaurant (this place had an incredible menu of tasty food) with friend Susan of Expression Avenue, town of Roswell (where I bought some wonderful crafty things like the stamp set used in this creation), Old Mill in Roswell, Georgia Aquarium and Stone Mountain. Highlight of the trip was seeing & photographing the Twin Panda Cubs at Zoo Atlanta. The Twin Panda Cub girls, Mei Lin & Mei Huan, were born Jul last yr 2013.

Created this Spring/Easter card using:
1. Impression Obsession stamp set & die
2. scissors to fussy cut out the basket & eggs
3. cutting tool on basket
4. Stamp N Plus Stardust chalk on the eggs
5. scissors to fringe the basket grass
6. brads
7. buttons
8. ribbon
9. wiggle eyes on the bunnies

  7. What a wonderful Spring-themed card! It's currently snowing in my neck of the woods, but I love the thought of Easter on its way! You did a great job with the color palette and I really like how you added such detail to the basket and the bunnies. Their googly eyes are so cute! I also love the grass you added to the basket. The transparent ribbon was a fantastic way to interpret our theme. Thanks so much for joining us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
