Have you seen the latest House of Mouse stamps at Stampendous? One word . . . ADORABLE! I had to choose this cutie for my card this week. It's called Fully Content Rubber Stamp! He looks so content in the bird feeder with his full belly! I love how much the colors remind me of spring too.
You should try coloring one of these cuties! Here are instructions to make one of your own.

Instructions:
1) Start with 5 ¾” x 5 ½” pale teal card. Glue 5 3/8” x 4 ¾” centered.
2) Use 5” scalloped cutting die to cut pink cardstock. Use 4 ½” square cutting die to cut watercolor paper.
3) Stamp Fully Content stamp onto square watercolor paper. Color with small amount of Distress Markers, and use brush and water to spread color. Let Dry. Glue watercolor square to pink square. Glue centered on to card front.

This is so pretty! The Spring colors are MUCH NEEDED! We have only had one day over freezing this month and that was only 33 degrees so it just barely made it over! Thank goodness for awesome designers who make me remember Spring will get here! TFS!
