Love the colors for today's Color Challenge (CC445)! Green (any shade) has always been my fave color. And I just happened to have this card sitting on my desktop that fit the bill. There is a lot of green and a lot of white, but only a touch of the gray for shading the greens and the whites of his big ol' eyeballs.
I've had this wonderful cattail frame/address label image for a while & I kept putting off using it because I just couldn't figure out what to do with it. Ever been stumped like that? Then, I came across this cute little frog on a log and thought ..hmmm ..he could be sitting there in the window. After I colored the frog w/ Copics & cut him out, I attached him so it looks likes he's sitting in the window.
I wanted some open space above him to stamp some little dragonflies, & that's why the lime green layer is cut on a diagonal. I used a cattail embossing border multiple times across it. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25. Copics used; BG000, BG10, BG32, G00, G02, G07, G16, G20, YG13, YG21, YG25, YG67, Y26, C1, C3
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
