happy easter!

Happy Easter!  I created this card to send off to my boys out west.  I love the clean and simple look.  The stamps are from Close to My Heart and I cut the eggs with CTMH's Art Philosophy cartridge.  The butterfly is one of a set of three die cuts from Cheery Lynn Designs.  Using a zigzag embossing folder and fringe give the illusion of a basket for the eggs. 

This topiary was created using flowers also cut from CTMH's Art Philosophy and there are also several of the Cheery Lynn butterflies.  I stuck them in a styrofoam ball using straight pins and hot glue.  The dowel is covered with the same ribbon as the bow and I found the pot at a garage sale.  The little Easter baskets have chocolate eggs inside and the tutorial to create them can be found at Pootles Papercraft.  Sam is a an independant UK Stampin Up Demonstrator and she has some awesome tutorials.  Please check her out!  I did up about three dozen of these delightful baskets and am off to drop them and the topiary at a retirement home here in my community.  scrap happy...
