Easter Blessings!

Hello Again! 
This is my second post for today.  I'd
like to share with you this card that I made for
one of my favorite challenges...The Shabby Tea Room!
And, they are celebrating their second birthday!!!
Happy happy birthday, Shabby Tea Room!!!!
Please stop over to wish them a happy birthday and join
in on all the fun! 

I'm entering their challenge, which called for at least three colors
from the inspiration photo and dry embossing.

Here is my card...
And the colorful inspiration photo...
Oh, so many pretty spring colors!  First, I dry embossed the background paper and distressed it with tea dy ink.  Next, I stamped and colored the sweet little chick image.  Isn't she cute in the Easter bonnet?  I also added stickles to her and tiny little pearls.  Decorative border, lace, and buttons with twine were placed behind the focal point.  Tag, ribbon, button, and pearls flowers were added to finish off the card.  I hope you enjoyed visiting here today.  Take care, hugs!!:-))

Paper:  Echo Park, Coordinations, Recollections, Stamp:  Stampendous, Ink:  SU(Crumb Cake), Ranger(Tea Dye),
Emboss Folder: Darice(Fleur de Lis), Frame:  Tattered Angels, Trim:  Joggles, Punch:  Martha Stewart, Twine:  PTI, Pearl Flowers:  Marking Memories, Ribbon:  SU(Vanilla), Buttons:  My Stash, Ranger:  Stickles(Antique Linen)
