4 additional challenges inspired today's card...

Festive Friday // #FF0181 ...An "inspo list" challenge!!  From the inspo list honoring EASTER, pick 3 of the 10 elements to use on your card.  For my card I chose to use bunny, Easter sentiment, and flowers.

(Stampin Up)

I Spy With My Little Eye // #24 ...A theme challenge!!  THE DAWN OF SPRING is the theme for this current challenge.  Easter and Spring go hand in hand, so how about a "Happy Easter" card!?!
