Thanks (Crocuses)

Another gorgeous Paper Pretties digi - crocuses! I am patting myself on the back with my Copics coloring on this one - probably the best coloring I've done yet! Woo-hoo! I have really gotten into digital papers here lately, and this aqua-colored honeycomb paper is to die for! I love adding buttons to cards because there doesn't have to be any rhyme or reason for a button - they add elegance or cuteness or whatever look you're trying to achieve. And of course I had to use my Spellbinders classic squares and lacey squares dies - two more of my favorites!

I'm entering "Thanks" into the following challenges:
