The stencil in the background is a brand new template from DCWV, that you can find now at Joann stores. I blended various Distress Inks in blue, purple, and yellow. Then I stamped the Unity 'Hollyhocks' and spring sentiment in black. The whole panel was placed on purple cardstock from DCWV "Honey Chic" pad.
The colors are inspired by Unity's color challenge. I simply toned them down to have a more pastel and Easter vibe.
I have one more quickie card to share using brand new paper from DCWV "Coral and Navy" stack. The color combinations in this paper collections immediately make me think of Martha's Vineyard. I had to play with the papers immediately so here it is...
