God's love at Easter

This card was made possible by my favorite little crafter, my youngest daughter (she's 6).  Almost every time she sees me making cards, she wants to make some too.  I have a bunch of papers that I'm not real fond of (read: never use) so I let the girls have free range with them.  Well, she pulled out this purple floral to use and when I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for the Easter card I was making.  Purple is the color associated with royalty, after all.  So, here it is:
 I only have one Easter set with sentiments and both sentiments were way too big for the front of my card.  But then I thought that there is no better sentiment to express Easter than the word "love" since it was pure love that caused Christ to die on the cross.  Then, to finish off the inside:

Challenges:
Jo's Scrap Shack #81--Easter
Brown Sugar Challenge #139--Easter
