Coffee Easter Basket Entry #12

Once again I am using images from Gina K. Designs. I chose the basket images from the Springtime Baskets set and the cup was taken from the Coffee Therapy set. This card will also be entered into the 2017 Spring Time Coffee Lovers Blog Hop which is ongoing now. Just click on the link and learn all about it and perhaps you can work up a few cards and enter as well. Lots of fun prizes and if you do the hop you can find all sorts of free digital sets and more chances to win.


I used my MISTI and a masking technique to make the basket of eggs as the basket can be filled with lots of different things. I chose to add some eggs this time and I colored them in with Zig water color markers. I took a Zig marker and made a border to sort of look like a table top surface. The cups were stamped with ink from the Hero Arts Ombre Spring Brights ink pad. I then fussy cut them out and popped them onto the card along each side of the basket so that they appeared to be sitting on a table surface as well. Each layer was die cut with a Die-Namics Wonky Stitched Rectangle Stackers die set. After they were attached to each other I added them to a white card base.

Thanks for visiting. I think I am almost done with my Easter cards but I still might make a couple more if time permits. But soon I have to get to baking and cleaning as it takes this old body a long time to do those chores these days. And I love and thank you for your comments too.

God bless,
Verna

While the kids enjoy their Easter baskets, I will be sipping my coffee. That's what this card represents to me. Happiness is different things at different ages, right? Thanks for another really fun card.
Blessings,

I can just imagine two women sitting at the table sipping their coffee and talking about their plans for what food they will serve their family for Easter after they go to church. I would call this an imaginary scene because that is how I see it. You did a great job of masking, especially with that many eggs and I love all the bright colors of spring and Easter.
