I have absolutely fallen in love with the Stampavie images. They have so many adorable images from quite a few different illustrators in a variety of styles. I have a huge wishlist of their stamps! Their design team recently started up their blog challenges again after a break this winter and I had to play along with the new challenge which is to create something with a Spring theme. (Check out the Stampavie blog for more details on how to join in the challenge.) I pulled out this adorable Bird and Bear stamp to create a fun spring card. Isn't that such a cute image?! I paired the stamp with some patterned papers from the Pretty Please line by My Mind's Eye along with some aqua mist cardstock.
I colored the image with these copic markers that coordinate with my patterned papers. (You can click on the photo to enlarge it.) I added some stitching, brads, ribbon, and a button. Then, I finished off my card with a little sentiment tag.
I am hoping for some beautiful spring weather here this weekend! We actually had snow again last weekend so I am ready for some warm, sunny weather! Have a great weekend!

Awww, Niki, this just makes my heart MELT! That image is so adorable, and the colors you used are amazing. The green border around the image just makes it POP (probably because the little bird is green too). Outstanding!
