Today's card is inspired by this picture from the Just Us Girls Challenge.
I love the greens and yellows and the fun Easter Bunny Elements ... however, instead of featuring a bunny, I decided to create a fun Easter Chick.
I used my Stampin' Up Owl Builder Punch to create my fun little Chick (inspired by this card here). My chick was also inspired by the Easter Animals Challenge at My Time to Craft. The sentiment is Hero Arts Happy Thoughts.
The April Challenge at the a2z scrapbooking blog is Stencils ... this background was created by playing with Hero Arts Gold Shimmer Spray and the Hero Arts / BasicGrey Two Way Arrows Stencil.
I used the stencil as a standard mask. Then I flipped the inky stencil over and pressed it into a piece of paper and got this reverse effect (the darker parts are bits of silver ink left over from the last time I used the stencil and didn't clean it ... I like those happy accidents).
I'm also joining the One Year Anniversary of The Challenge where the theme is Anything Goes.
