Scene It Sunday #70 Featuring Shake It Up Polar Bears from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Good morning and happy Sunday - the last one of the month too! For today's card I am using another one of my stamp sets that I have had for years and only used once! No idea why I haven't used it more as it is such a sweet set! 

I thought I would make a slimline card for these cuties and then saw the challenge from My Favorite Things to make a mini slimline, meaning the card measures 3 x 6 inches. Not a size I would normally make as it is so tiny compared to my usual 6 inch square cards, but it came out so cute! I love it!
