Easter time 2

I've made another Easter card!

This time, it's my card for Pattie's Creations.

I used a Pattie's Creations image - Easter basket.

Even though I dillied and dallied with this image for a while, 

I found it a joy to colour.

I loved trying to capture the light and dark on the basket weaves and on the eggs.

I tried to give the bow a luxurious feel too (with my promarkers).

I played around with this image after colouring it. as I knew I didn't need 

much more, as I wanted the main focus to be the basket.

It came to me in a flash of inspiration, all of a sudden...

I have an embossing folder that I knew would work well with this image

 and - used with Kraft card - I think it worked!

I added the punched border to resemble a white fence, that I thought would

 make the basket "pop" even more.

The sentiment was generated on my pc and i cut it (and inked it) to look like a little tag.

I carefully chalked the edge of the embossed piece 

and embossed a clean line around the whole thing.
