You're Eggstra Special (PDCC #73, ESS #122, GRAC107)

I had such a perfect day today!  I slept in, played in my craft room and made this card, and then went for a walk with my hubby and my dog.  What could be better than that?!  I hope you all had a great day as well. :) 

I thought I'd make an Easter card since it's only a month away.  This card is inspired by the color story below from The Play Date Cafe and based on the sketch below from Eat Sleep Stamp.  I also found a new challenge this week called Glenda's Random Amusing Challenge and this week you're supposed to use more than one punch/die on your card or project.  I managed to do that so I thought I'd enter.  The challenge runs for another week or so there's plenty of time for you to play along if you feel inspired.  I used A Muse cardstock, gingham paper, and a notecard.  The polka dot paper is from the Fly A Kite paper pad by October Afternoon.  The stamps are my new ones from Waltzingmouse.  I used both label one and eyelet circle dies from Nestabilities.  And as always, I colored the Easter basket and eggs with my Copic markers. I really like this color combo and how the card turned out.  I wasn't sure in the beginning, but in the end I really like it.  I hope you do too!  Have a great weekend!  Happy Crafting!
