Inspired by Stamping Challenge #49

Inspired by Stamping offers an inspiration challenge every Thursday (Queensland, Australia time). The challenge lasts for one week, then a new photo is revealed! Here is the photo/color combination for this week's challenge!


Another beautiful, spring-time table! So feminine!


I decided to make a spring card with Easter eggs. These days I am not big on messing with eggs for Easter, but it was a big part of my childhood. I fondly remember searching for eggs at my Dad's VFW post! I used a pale pink ink to stamp the eggs from the NEW RELEASE Mason Jars Add On III set, which will be available for purchase on March 10th!

 
I used a masking technique to add some grass from the same stamp set. (I got my inspiration from another wonderful sketch from Mojo Monday - Sketch 266.)

 
The sentiment is also from the new Mason Jars Add On III. I stamped it with some "kraft" ink. I created a great bow with seam binding that I first sprayed with some glimmer mist.


The embossing folder is a new one that I've only had a few months. I rubbed the circles with some white ink to make them "pop" a bit. I really love how this card turned out!

Now, come and play along with the team!
 
Basic rules of the challenge: Please use the colors in our photo as your main colors. Upload your card/project to your blog or online gallery and leave a link to your project using the linky widget at the bottom of the IBSIC Blog post. When uploading to online galleries please add IBSIC #49 to your post. (Each challenge is up for one week.)
 
At this time ALL products (stamps, paper, dies) are welcomed with our challenge. You do not have to incorporate an IBS stamp set or flowers.
