Spring Madness

      Everyone is talking about March Madness in the midst of the basketball playoffs, but since I rarely follow basketball, I wanted to share a card celebrating simple Spring Madness!  Maybe this will hurry it along and get this crazy winter behind us.  :-D

     This darling bunny is an image drawn by Mariola Budek (I love, love LOVE her images), and I think it's a perfect reflection of how every bunny must feel when spring makes the clover grow and the sky is blue beyond all imagination.  I colored the image with some of my new markers by Sanjoki, a brand I'm trying out for comparative purposes with both ProMarkers and Copics.  So far, I find them to be comparable in everything but price since the Sanjokis are far more affordable.  I have a set of 120 so finding the exact color I want for blending purposes isn't a problem.  I'm still adjusting to the brush tips because they seem to be a bit more flexible than Copics and, since I've been a dedicated ProMarker user for nearly a decade now, I need to hone my skills when it comes to brush tips anyway.  

     Once colored, I cut the image with a Gina Marie die, then layered it onto my card front.  I printed and fussy cut the sentiment, added it to the top of the image and called it finished!  :-D  I think it's cute enough to use for an Easter card.  What do you think?
