Seeing Dots

One of the great perks of being part of the Stampendous® Design Team is all the wonderful companies Stampendous® partners with in the craft industry.  One of my new favorites is BoBunny®.  Their papers are perfection!  Beautiful designs in a delicious array of colors makes it so easy to create pretty cards.  The weight of the paper is just right, too.  I like a cardstock with some substance, not so flimsy that I have to worry about it tearing while I'm creating.  Have you ever tried to distress the edges of paper and it's so thin it just rips and tears?  You won't have to worry about that happening with BoBunny®!

One of my favorite collections by BoBunny® paper is the Double Dots.  In particular, I love the Vintage Dots papers.  They have a built-in distressed style that I'm in love with!  Little hints of gold in the dots and flecks of rust add to the aged look.  And, the texture!  Oh, the texture!  It's a feast for the eyes!  One side is dots and the other side is a beautiful flourish design, both are yummy with little visual scratches and splatters!  

So, on to my card!  This is a fun Stampendous® House-Mouse® Designs stamp named Leaf Sledding.  These little critters are dear to my heart and it seems like they're always doing something that makes me smile!
