Now let's get hoppin'!!

For my card tonight, I used the super cute Lucas stamp from the Best Fur-iends set. He was stamped on X-Press It blending card, and then colored with my Copics. I paper pieced his shorts to look like jean shorts...fun! I layered my image with Banana Split(Bazzill), Wild Cherry(MFT), and Nightshift Blue(MFT). I used paper from the MME On the Bright Side paper pad, and embellished my card with some Michael's brads, a spiral clip, and Nightshift Blue grosgrain from MFT.

Well, that is it for me for now! Have fun on the hop!
