Spring In The Air

 Monday marked the first official day spring where I live. It was sunny for the first time in a long time but the rest of the week is snow and rain in the forecast. We usually get quite a bit of rain in the spring which my dog isn't a fan of. He has never liked getting wet but the thing that makes me giggle is that he will jump over a puddle or find a way to walk around it before he ever walks through it. He has always done this and every time it makes me giggle - it's the cutest little jump and it gets me every time.

We often get caught in random showers and down pours on our walks and that seems to be what has happened to Teddy and his family! At least they remembered to grab a cute umbrella so they can enjoy the rain shower and play in the puddles! Meet "Teddy's Family" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps - maybe they should meet my dog and show him how to enjoy the puddles <smile>

 I stamped Teddy and his family on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured them with Copic markers and cut them out with a square pleated lace die. Lawn Fawn patterned paper was a great match for the stamp and the spring feel I wanted for my card. I kept the layout and layers quite simple on this one to keep the focus on this adorable stamp. The sentiment was stamped using my Misti, cut and added to matching card stock. Some ribbon, a bow and enamel dots finish off my card.

Teddy's Family

Hello High Hopes Fans

You can find our April Challenge HERE 

The challenge runs until April 30th.

 April showers bring May flowers and this bear family looks like they are in the midst of a downpour LOL! Of course like any child the little bear would rather play in the puddles. Still they look so cute all cuddled together trying to stay dry. For this card I used the image called "Teddy's Family".

I stamped the image with Memento ink in Tuxedo Black and coloured the bears and puddle with my Copic Sketch Markers. I used coordinating  paper from the MME Quite Contrary "Jack and Jill" collection.  I paper pieced the Mommy bear and the umbrella with matching paper from it. The rain drops are enhanced with Liquid Pearls in Baby Blue. I added some twine and enamel dots as embellishments. The puddle has some clear Wink of Stella glitter pen for a bit of added sparkle!

The sentiment inside is called "Play in Puddles"

Copics used:

 Bears: E11, E13, E15 nose-T7
tongue & ears: R20, R27
Bow: Y21, Y26
Umbrella pole: T3
Water: BG000, BG01
