March Stamp of the Month Bloghop

I can't believe it's March already!  The weeks just seem to be flying by.  I'm excited to again be participating in the  Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.  This month's stamp set is called Sensational Season, and is perfect for Easter, baby cards or spring thinking-of-you-cards, or for anyone who loves rabbits or Beatrix Potter (that would be me).


Thanks for stopping by for a peek.  If you came here from Shannon's blog, you've arrived at the right place.

On my card I used the new paper pack, Sweetheart.  I didn't want to color in  the entire rabbit, so I made a stencil for the dress.  It was not too bad to cut out.  Also, I like the softness of the look of the sponging. 

I LOVE Waxy Flax.  I always use it in my buttons.  (One of my team members says "No naked buttons.")  I like how it stays put when you thread it through a button (no need to tie knots). and they come in a bunch of different colors.  My favorite is Colonial White, because the white thread goes with almost everything.

I also tried coloring the apron in.  I added polkadots by hand.

On this one I stamped the bunny on a piece of patterned paper and cut it out.

Decisions, decisions...  I like the stenciling idea because you can easily make multiples of the card.  Have fun experimenting!
