This card came together rather quickly.

Now, that the panels sprayed with the Chroma Mist are dray I stamp the Eggs images from the Brutus Monroe: Sophisticated Spring 6x8 Stamp Set with Brutus Monroe: Raven Detail Ink. I then fussy cut them out. Once the brown panel was dry I used a two dies from my stash to cut a rectangle and two sentiment strips for the handles of the basket. I the layered the Eggs into the basket and adhered them into place.  

Next, I trimmed a panel from one of the papers of Brutus Monroe: Sophisticated Spring 6x6 Paper Collection along with a panel of pink cardstock. I adhered them to my card base. Then, I adhered the basket full of eggs onto the card front. I stamped the sentiment onto some yellow cardstock and adhered it to the basket with some foam adhesive. Now, for finishing touches I used the Brutus Monroe: Acrylic Bubbles: Blush, Brutus Monroe: Acrylic Bubbles: Limeade,
