WPLUS9 Monday Mood Board - Easter Eggs

Today I'm playing along with the WPlus9 Monday Mood Board.  I'm lovin the weekly challenges and enjoying creating with my WPlus9 stamps.  For me making a card is like putting together a puzzle - you know - sometimes they sit there for days until you get just the right piece in the right place.  That's sort of how my cards work.  Sometimes they come to me easy and sometimes not so much.  Either way I always like to have one in the works that I can play around with until I'm happy.   It just relaxes me and gives me a feeling of satisfaction when it all comes together.  

I saw this inspiration photo and of course I focused on the yellow and purple - I love the way they complement each other.  Gotta admit I'm a little short on Easter cards so this is all good with me.  I stamped the backgrounds and added a sweet tag with pearls.   I hope you like it. 
If you'd like to play along with the Monday Mood Board you can get all the details here!  Thanks for having a look and have a beautiful day!

I love the ric rack on your cute purple and yellow card. Those are the two colors that most remind me of Easter. I love the subtle tone on tone patterned paper you made too. A very cheery card!

Yellows & light purples just say "Easter" don't they? Such a lovely card, and I like all the details you added here. Great rickrack trim.

Amazingly pretty - as always! Love how you always manage to put so many lovely details together (my cards look cluttered when I try to)

Can't wait to see what you'll create with the new wms (I don't have them yet - but I'm in love already (-: )
