Sneaky Peek Meets Sketch for You to Try

The Cat’s Pajamas is the sponsor for this month’s installment of Jen’s Sketch for You to Try. So, I'm playing along with today's sketch reveal and combining it with my sneaky peek of the Bunny Side up set.

I flipped the sketch on its side and used the "just hatched" bunny for my focal image. The bunny’s colored with Copic markers and cut out, then set on a light blue panel with foam tape. I used coordinating pastel patterned papers for the panels on the cardfront along with a piece of pink grosgrain ribbon. After using lots of fall and winter colors on my cards lately, it was nice to switch things up to a soft, fresh color palette! The panels are set on a green patterned panel, then on a green card base. I had room on one of the patterned strips for the “I’ve got a little egg on my face” sentiment near the edge. It’s balanced out with a pretty pink bow set at the bottom of the image panel.

Be sure to check out Jen’s blog for more inspiration using this month’s sketch and for all the details on how to play along. And, Alma’s blog will have a list of the rest of the Cat Pack members who are also sharing sneaky peeks of Bunny Side up today. Don’t forget to leave a comment on our In It to Win it thread in the TCP forum on SCS for a chance to win one of the new releases—and be sure to mark our Monday night release party on your calendar, too!

And, since we have some spring-like weather here to match the feel of my card, I’m going to take advantage of it and spend a little time outside this afternoon at the dog park with Chloe the cutie puppy so she can burn off some energy. I think she’s earned it after being home alone all day during my long first week back at work after winter break. It’s hard to believe that she’s turning 2 in a little over a week and will officially be a “grown up”dog. Now if only she’d get that message about being grown up . . .
