Happy Easter card

Hi friends and crafties,

Today I made a card using what I think is from googling coloring pictures (before I was introduced to digi stamps), if this incorrect I apologise and feel free to let me know where it came from. I coloured the image with copics, I matted the computerised sentiment on ribbon and the papers are Bo Bunny. The large grey bling flower is from Flourish with a Bling.
