Easter Snag by Kathyfrances

Recently the members of Escape From Reality had the privilege of working with the scrapkit 'Fairy Party' by Bella Carabena www.dreamingwithbella.com. I used it to make the background cluster and combined it with the work of ©Sherri Baldy. I used a stamp I purchased and colored from Sherri Baldy's store www.mybestiesshop.com.

Feel free to snag it and add your name. I only ask that you do not change the copyright or offer it as a WWO. See my TOU for more info. Need help adding your name? Stop by the forum and we will be glad to assist! http://escapefromreality.forumotion.co.uk

Here is the snag tag:

I made a gradient to create the background colors and used 
a mask to get the look I wanted. Here is the gradient, 
just in case you have a use for it. Enjoy!
