Egg-celent Easter

Used Wild Card cart for frame and  basket out of Storybook...I was looking for something to act as a handle on a basket and cut out the letter 'S' accent/frame and discovered if you take the inside piece that cuts out and turn it around a bit...you end up with a lovely easter basket equipped with flourishes..I made the upper right grassy egg flourish using SB letter 'A' fancy/corner feature and a wood stamp.  Eggs were cut out using Nestibilities and embossed with CB... I also ran a stiff paint brush over VersaMark ink pad and then across a couple different Perfect Pearls colors and  brushed over eggs to add a very pretty shimmery look... additionally used some stickles and a little glitter pen... Thanks for looking!

This is for Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturdays sketch challenge and just so happens to also fall into a few other challenges...
