This card is made for the TSC today. My internet has been down for two days so it made getting my challenge done on time a little easier, but when I finished it last night, I wasn't sure I would get to upload it today. Between the phone company and the internet provider being here all day, I wasn't sure it was going to be fixed at all today. This frog was laying there looking submissive so I thought the title went with his look. Anyway, we were to use brown, green, light yellow colors, use a corner and border punch and have a summer theme. I found this paper in my stash last night and thought it was the perfect colors for the challenge. Then this frog popped into my mind so here he is. I cheated a little on the corner punch, I cute out the shape to mount behind the frame because I thought putting it on the frame took away from the picture. I painted with a aqua painter and ink pads, which is not one of my favorite ways of coloring. I decided to step outside the box and get some more practice. Ok, I will quit now that I have written a book. Thanks for looking.

Shirley.....Sistah!!! Love that Frog! I struggled with my aqua painter for some time then finally discovered one must use a high end CS or get pills when you use the cheap one. Your coloring is very very good and I love that border punch you used. The DP is perfect! Great card, love it!

Well, well Shirtley, does Tiggerford know you've had service men in the house all day? Hmmm? I am happy to see you got your card done, and know you are a 'good girl'. (Well, 'that' way anyhow!) And I am glad your computer is back! Man, I missed you girl! Your lil froggie is too cute Shirl, and I love your coloring too! Aqua painting- it is the BEST! Love your borders and gorgeous DP. Now, go get a surge protecter for that puter, ya hear? Love you!
