Easter Chicks

Welcome to Gina K Designs' first day of previews. Today, we are featuring the talented Melanie's newest sets, Spring Basket and Basket Blessings. They coordinate with many of Melanie's previous sets, so this makes them must-have's.

For my card, I stamped the basket from Spring Basket and the inserts from Basket Blessings, then colored them with Copic markers. The striped paper is American Crafts Dear Lizzy. The cardstocks are GKD Wild Dandelion and Creme de Menthe.

Easter Chicks
