Pawsitively Spring

   Ack! It is snowing again! Will this winter ever end? To get my mind off snow and winter and cold and yuck, I decided to think spring and pulled out springy colors and stamp set to make the card for today's post. I found this great sketch at Pals Paper Art.

I rotated the sketch and this is the card I made!

   I used the hostess set, Picnic Parade from the Occasions Mini. I really like all of the cute little critters that come with it! For this card I just used the bunny and snail. For the layer behind the bunny I used the Big Shot and the Two Tags die. I am always looking for alternate ways to use our products!

   If you haven't used the Pawsitively Prints designer paper yet - I highly recommend it! It was offered first in the Holiday Mini along with the Build a Bear products. Stampin' Up! carried it over into the Occasions Mini so it is still available. I love the 2 patterns I used on the card front! 

  For the bunny and snail I stamped them with Black Stazon on scraps of designer paper and cut out the overalls of the bunny and the snail. These I adhered with Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive - perfect for these kind of things! In addition, I punched a scallop circle from the Pawsitively Prints dsp, cut it in half and used it for the "grass" beneath the bunny's feet.  All of the coloring was done with markers.

  I wanted the bunny to carry something or hold something so I added 2 button balloons with strings hand drawn using markers. I can't help but think Spring when I look at this card!
