Yes, Easter is coming and I just now mailed my Easter cards. I made only three this year, but had three left from last year. I'm lagging behind, but it seems there's so much going on outside my craft room lately.
Today's card is one that made me very happy as I brought all the parts together. I splurged on a few things from the SSS Beautiful Moments collection and this card represents several of them: Country Basket Bouquet, Sweet Bunny, Double Loop Bow, Leaf Spin 3D embossing folder. The tag and sentiment are from my toybox.
I'm delighted with all my new toys but, ohhhh, that Leaf Spin embossing folder... it does speak to my leaf-loving heart! It made the prettiest background for the basket. Every bit of color comes from ink blending with brushes. The card is 4 1/2" x 6". That little bit extra allows a lot more play.
Linking up with Darnell's NBUS Challenge #85. Everything except the tag and sentiment is never before used schtuff.
I have little time to linger today as there are many other things that need doing, but I'll be back with one more Easter card shortly.
Enjoy your day, and happy upcoming Easter!

Beautiful card as always but now I see you have perfected the art of ink blending! And you have also made me sorry I didn't look more at the recent SSS release. I enjoy reading your blog and seeing your lovely creations. Happy Easter.
Spring in a basket! This is pure delight, Leslie!! You're so right, that the leafy background is the perfect backdrop to draw attention to this amazing flower filled basket. That little bunny is darling too. New toys are always fun and these toys are timeless in design so they'll serve you well for years to come. Hope you have a blessed Easter my friend.
This is a work of art! The basket and background are beautiful, but that cute little bunny steals the show! The expression on his face--precious!
Wow, I love every single part of this card and that embossing folder is a favorite, the cute bunny, hmm, did I buy that, not sure, I know I bought one of them, and the basket of flowers appeals to me immensely, put it all together and it is gorgeous and made for each other, another outstanding card Leslie! PS: I just checked, I did buy that bunny and another one!!
Cute card. One of my crafty dozen friends at yesterday’s gathering was playing with that basket die. You both made pretty cards with that die. The background is beautiful as well. Nice combo. Have a great day.
Wow! So beautiful and so Spring! I think we are in our couple weeks of Spring before we get hit with Summer heat! I love all the elements you added to this. Spectacular.
Leslie, you wouldn't believe how many times that darling basket went in and came out of my shopping cart!! I'm just as happy seeing it here on your adorable card - along with every other little thing not least your sweet Easter bunny!
Such a wonderful card!

I love that leafy embossed background but not any more than that sweet basket full of gorgeous flowers and the adorable bunny! This is the sweetest Easter card, Leslie!
Oh Leslie......I am head over heels in LOVE with your leaf spinner background and that GORGEOUS basket filled to the brim with such sweet and colorful blooms! And not least of all that sweet bunny too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Well if this isn't the most darling Easter card, I don't know what is! Your basket of blooms is just delightful and I like the sweet little bunny! I just got this EF in the mail, can't wait to play with it!
I don't think "Easter card" does this beauty justice, Leslie! It is an Easter decoration to be kept and admired year after year! I'm with on the leafy e/f and those flowers ~ mwah! And that smiling bunny and tag are the perfect finishes! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Happy Easter! Hugs, Darnell
WOW! This is one gorgeous card Leslie. The embossed background sets the stage for your beautiful basket of flowers. LOVE everything about this card, my friend! xx
Wow that is stunning!! I so agree, I too loved that embossing folder and that basket is just the sweetest with all the details and that is my favorite bunny out of them all, I didn't end up getting any of them but I was wanting them :) You did such a beautiful job arranging the flowers and leaves too!
Happy Easter! Leslie this is absolutely gorgeous! Love the background and basket full of pretty flowers ( fabulous colours), and the bunny just makes me smile!
I received a bunch of items from this release as well, I will use them for next Easter as it takes 2-3 weeks sometimes longer to get the product, so I already had the Easter cards I needed to make already done.
Wishing you a wonderful day!
Exceptional purchases and I love what you created with them Leslie! I love how you layered everything! Perfect and so cute!
