Finally!



can you tell the bunny is paper pieced?

 I finally made the time to play in a Cat's Pajamas challenge.  Every week I religiously check out the challenge and what the design team is up and this week when the new stamps were released I couldn't resist purchasing a few new bunny stamps including this fella in the balloon.  I just had to sit down and make something right away.  I have a pack of paper with balloon images,  I had a charm just waiting to be placed on a card and then with this week's challenge being a sketch well, it was like kismet. 
I spent lots of time fussing over the paper piecing but that's a good thing for me.  It keeps my mind and hands occupied and the rest of the world fades away.  Happy, happy, happy...

don't neglect the inside

Here's the deets:
stamp - the Cat's Pajamas "Away We
Go"
ink - Memento "Rich Cocoa"; inside image stamped in Versamark "Toffee"
paper - Kaisercraft "Up, Up and Away" dp; Colorbok yellow cs; Stampin' Up Kraft cs
