Happy Spring Kitty (High Hopes Rubber Stamps)

Hello, everyone!  Before I share today's card, I would like to welcome three lovely new followers - AJ Bodine, Regina, and Lori's Crafty Spot - thank you for joining me!

Here is a spring card featuring an adorable rubber stamp called Peeking Kitty from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  I coloured him with my Prismacolor pencils, fussy-cut, and placed him inside a die-cut basket (Impression Obsession). I sponged Antique Linen Distress Ink on the handle and around the opening of the basket to add dimension.

To create the sky background, I sponged Tumbled Glass Distress Ink using a cloud template (printed from Netty's Cards - thank you!), and sponged Shabby Shutters Distress Ink towards the bottom to represent the grassy landscape.  

I added lots of fun die cuts:  Lawn Fawn Grass Border, Impression Obsession Grass, Whimsy Stamps Garden Flowers, Memory Box Rhone and Effera Butterflies, and Poppystamps Walking Cat.  The sentiment is from My Creative Time Color Me Happy clear stamps.  I created a window around the scene with some scraps/snippets of leftover dp. I finished it off by adding two pink gems on the butterfly. Here's the rubber stamp:
