Paper Sweeties April Inspiration Challenge #30 - 'Hoppy Easter'

Happy April Fool's Day today and welcome to the Paper Sweeties April Inspiration Challenge! This month's theme is "Hoppy Easter"!  Here is the inspiration graphic:



Aren't these wonderful colors! And those sweet little "Peeps" too!  So inspiring!!!!!

I decided to use the cute little bird from the "Hippity Hoppity Easter Wishes" stamp/sweet cuts bundle.  I had stamped, die-cut, and colored two of the birds as part of the "The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge" put on by Kathy R. at her website: HERE. If you love to color there is a TON of wonderful inspiration and tutorials to be had on her wonderful site!

Here is the card I created using one of the little chicks I had colored: 

I also used a heart stamp from the "Stand Add-On Fresh Baked" stamp set.  I wanted to make it look like the sweet bird was singing a song and sending Easter Wishes to the recipient of this card. The sentiment is from a set called "Baskets and Bunnies".  

Everyone at Paper Sweeties hopes that you will join in this month's challenge! Debbie always offers a lovely gift certificate and guest design spot to the winner!  

Here is our link list for today's blog hop! I cannot wait to hop around and look at all of the wonderful inspiration from my teammates!
