Easter Greetings

Happy Saturday Everyone!
This morning I finally got around to creating a card for the new challenge over at Craft Hoarders Anonymous.  The theme for this challenge is Vintage/Retro and Graphic45 is their sponsor!

Well, you know I LOVE Vintage design and Graphic45 is one of my favorite vintage style design paper companies so this challenge was right up my alley.  Although I must say, I didn't have to put a lot of effort into this card!  All the 'pieces' came from the Graphic45 'Sweet Sentiments' and 'Secret Garden' 8x8 paper packs.  A touch of gingham ribbon and pop dots was pretty much all that was required to put this card together!


How quick/easy & awesome is this!
With doing an unexpected craftshow in a couple of weeks, I'm scurrying about trying to be sure I have enough SPRING styled cards ready so I think I'll be 'whipping up' a few more of these beauties.

With all the square cuts, I wanted to add a little more dimension, so I tucked the lower corner images up underneath the focus image and POPPED up the Easter greeting panel. The gingham ribbon was tied around the 1st layer of matting and by moving the pop dots back a bit on the focus panel, it gave room to tuck in these adorable ticket panel images.

I also overlaid another one of the 'ticket' images in the upper right corner.  
What do you think?  
It has actually taken me longer to type up this post then it did to make the card!  LOL!

Here are a couple more challenges I'd like to share with:
The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge - Anything Goes twist/favorite color (purple)
Your Next Stamp Challenge - Photo Inspiration
Annabelle Stamp Challenge - Color Inspiration
Sister Act Challenge - Anything Goes
Crafty Girls Challenge - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
We have some Pittsburgh family members coming to visit and spend the night with us so I'm really looking forward to that!  Hopefully the weather will hold up for their trip over!
