I loved having a choice of picking three out of five colors for the color challenge today. I used Pistachio, Coastal Cabana and Brown Sugar. I used the stamps from MFP Stamp Shop called Dragonfly and Tree Toad.
I had some netting that I had saved from a vegetable bag, some scrap burlap and some gold fiber that I added around my frog. The background was made with a stencil, inks and sponges.
Adding all of these extra things are out of my comfort level. I lack imagination.
Thank you for taking a look at my card.

No imagination missing here, Shirt!! You did an awesome job adding all these textures like it was inbred in you since BIRTH! Wow - even the BG done with the stencil and sponges is so cool - you got my vote for a VERY imaginative card here! Hugs!

There's so many dragonflies out there....no wonder his eyeballs are heading in different directions! I love the gold fibers with the little chain links that attach them! Your bg looks like dp, Shirley....great job with that~

Really wonderful card with the frog image(beautifully colored) and your "found objects" to add interest and show your creativity, Shirley. Your chose a perfect combination of today's colors to have a "pond-like" feeling.

Wow! This is fabulous! The frog is so cute and beautifully colored! The background is really pretty, and I love all the textures you added! A very unique and creative card!
Wow Shirley! This looks fabulous! I like how you created your own bg with the dragonflies (my all time favorite and most used MFP set). Great card with so much texture!

Your brilliant green frog looks like he is definitely sitting the middle of his pond. Love the addition of all the embellishments and finished off with some dragonflies as well.
