Happy Easter! Hope everyone is enjoying a restful and renewing day. I created this fun card for my Mom. Who doesn't love a bunny juggling eggs? I'd pay to see that.

Sketch Challenge card using Vertical Garden Stamp set from Stampin' Up! #TGIFC103 - Charlet Mallett
Welcome to this week's TGIF Challenge! It's a sketch challenge week and this sketch is one that could lend itself to SO MUCH creativity! Check out all of the projects made with this sketch on the TGIF Challenge blog.
I am a huge fan of watercolor wash backgrounds. They are so easy to create and are a great base to start any card. I used Calypso Coral ink and an Aqua Painter to created my watercolor wash. I wanted to add a little more dimension to the background so I stamped the sprigs from the Vertical Garden stamp set in Versamark ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder.
The Hello verse was stamped in Tip Top Taupe and also Calypso Coral.
Vertical Garden happens to be on the Stampin' Up! retired list. This set is available right now at a 30% discount for $17.85, while supplies last. If fact, many of the supplies on this card are only available until June 1.
I'm sad to see this stamp set go but we've got to make room for all the new goodies.
Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments.

Easter and Spring break is just a short week away. Hoping the snow melts in time for a little egg hunt. If not, I've got carrots on hand. LOL. These are a sweet little orange treat box I created for a few family peeps in Utah. I'm packing up to mail out today.
I created this fun box template after a few failed attempts. I'm sharing this carrot box design. My gift to you! You can download the PDF here. Print it on a sheet of card stock. Cut out perimeter, score interior lines, fold and adhere - it's pretty easy to assemble. Use a strong glue. You can get two carrots from one sheet of 8.5 x 11 card stock.
I paired this carrot box with the Basket Bunch bundle. I used the grass piece from the framelits to create the leafy carrot top. To recreate: Cut grass from framelit. Create a score line 1/4" up from the bottom edge of the grass. Paper snip every quarter inch up to the score line. Roll and fold in the little snips to create a base for glueing onto the box.
I made small tags for each box using the bunny and carrot images from the Basket Bunch stamp set. These carrot boxes are the perfect size to house mini jelly beans. Happy Easter!
The Basket Bunch stamp set is so cute & egg-stra special! LOL. I am totally in love with it. Basket Bunch is also this weeks What Will You Stamp challenge set. This stamp set has Easter/Spring images and coordinating framelits.
I created two cards for this weeks challenge both using the easter egg images and sentiment from the set. The first card uses the sweet basket from the framelits. This card is a little more detailed. The second card is super simple and basically uses stamps, ink and paper.
Check out what the team created over on the WWYS blog and play along if you have this set. Happy spring!
