2. Die cut 3 eggs in Basic White card stock from Easter Basket dies. Turn stamp face up. Use Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Balmy Blue inks to stamp the eggs. Place each egg blank in turn, right side face down and aligned over stamp to get a stamped even border all round.

4. Stamp the plant pot and drip tray in Crumb Cake and die cut. Both have slots in them so that you can tuck the leaves into the pot and the pot into the drip tray.
5. Basic White card stock – cut the small cluster of flowers and colour the centres with Peach Pie marker.
6. Die cut spring banner, stamp wood grain and die cut larger banner and adhere the smaller “spring” banner on top.
