A Gem of a Challenge #165 - Easter Time

It's time for another challenge at A Gem of A Challenge and as Easter is next weekend we thought it was appropriate to have an Easter Time theme so you can show off all your sweet cards!

For mine I decided to go with the adorable trio of Chicks from the Chick Set and I colored a second set to create a 3D image. I love how this looks and don't do it often enough :)





Card Recipe:
Image and Sentiment - Easter Chicks from Chick Set
Medium - Copic Markers
Paper - Lemon Flower Stack by DCWV
Border Punch - Martha Stewart
Doily Die - Little B
Enamel Dots, Flowers and Straws - Mickaels
Ribbon - Hobby Lobby






As well as the 3D chicks I added a dimensional border from alternating green and yellow 1" pieces of craft straws topped with ribbon and flowers.
We really would love you to join in at A Gem of A Challenge you could be our winner!

Again I have entered a ton of challenges (just shy of 50!) with this card and hope everyone that gets to see it will get a smile from it :)
