Okay...this is my first "challange" card.  I had fun making this card. I made it for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge #44.   I'll have to enter more challenges.  It's a little easier to design a card when there is a sketch to follow!!!!  This one is an easel card.  Please click on the pictures for a better look.
