Drum roll please.........................it's From the Garden!
This card in particular was inspired by the lavender that I picked from my Mother-in-law's garden and saved for something special. In fact, she may just get this card for Mother's Day......shhhhh don't tell!
Let me give you some quick details so we can move onto the good stuff...blog candy! The Wisteria Wonder card base is embossed with the Spring Flowers embossing folder. I added the berry basket (using half of one die cut) and a doily so you can see the lavender really well. Last touch which really makes the card special is the sweet garden pick that says "Grown with Love"....it's just perfect for this card! The edging of the pick was stamped with Blackberry Bliss then die cut with the coordinating framelit. The sentiment is done in Wisteria Wonder with a couple of sweet doodles in Pear Pizzaz. For the bow, I used Blackberry Bliss ink on Wisteria Wonder and die cut it to add below the sentiment.
OK......now how about some details about the BLOG CANDY!!

I love it! Gotta get that berry basket die now! ...
Nicole -- You are very talented and I just love looking at your creations that you post to Patty's group.
This basket is above all the rest! Any one would love to have that. Something to think about for Mother's Day.
Awesome card. Makes me want to start growing Lavender.
I love the idea of using the real lavender in the basket. This card would be perfect for my mother-in-law who does a ton of gardening, and truly plants everything with love.
I had considered getting the "From the Garden" set, but haven't yet, for just the reason you stated -- I'm intimidated by tiny stamps! They're perfect for this card though!
Love your creativity! Supper idea to share something home grown and home made! Thank you for sharing!
An amazing idea!! Love the real lavender accents. Thank you for sharing!!
Love, love, love it!! How sweet to have real sprigs of lavender in the basket! Thanks for sharing your clever ideas.
Awesome! I love lavender.
Thanks for showing this really cute card. I love it. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Nicole, I love your idea! I grow lavender too and sometimes just put a ribbon around some sprigs to give someone. Being a cardmaker though this idea takes it a step further. Thanks for sharing this idea with us.
Seeing the basket used flat on the card makes the basket die so much more versatile! I was not going to consider this die until I started seeing these cards pop up. I love the doily behind your lavender. Very pretty! And your textured base really sets it off. :) Thanks for the opportunity in the drawing!
I love seeing other ways to use a Stampin' Up! product, especially when the product is pricey like the Berry Basket die. This is a beautiful card - I love the combination of colors, and the lavender is a special touch.
Can't imagine the recipient not loving this beautiful card. Using fresh lavender is a brilliant idea!! Thanks for sharing your awesome talent.
Hi Nicole! Gosh, this has to be the prettiest card ever! Just love what you did with the basket and adding the lavender. Such a nice touch! Thanks for the inspiration! Karen
Wonderful card. Love the 3D aspect & lavender!
Love how the added lavender takes your beautiful card up a notch. Great idea.
I love how you used the dried lavendar in the basket! The doily background adds just the right touch. Thanks for sharing :)
Adorable card, love the way you used the basket die. Such a clever thought to add the lavender. Thanks for sharing, have a joyful Easter.

Oh my gosh! This is over the top. Love the lavendar 'plant'. Creative way to use the Berry Box die, too. Look forward to seeing the other projects you create. TFS!
Lovely card!
I really love your card, colors, basket - all of it. And you even cover the sense of smell with the lavender. It reminds me of my mother because lavender was her favorite.
Really liked the 3D with the Berry Basket and the fresh Lavender. The Dollie adds the right touch. I have everything so this will be my next card to make for some April Birthdays. Debbie
Love your card!!! Too cute!!!
