over in the mossy meadow. Barbara you have offered us up a real pretty color challenge this first week of April. I simply couldn't resist bringing out more
frogs...check out my LEAP frog.
Those wonderful lily pads are an unknown red rubber stamp. They are colored with watercolor crayons and Copics. I fussy cut them and then laid them atop my direct to paper second stamping. The water lilies were fussy cut up off the lily pads for dimension and colored in a Copic marker called 'Water Lily' RV00. The leap frog jumping frogs are from Swampland. They were colored with Twinkling H2O's after stamping them in the 'Cocoa Brown'. My diving man (Gumbo Graphics) was also fussy cut. His speedos are pool party colored.
The LEAP letters are from an old set by Mariah Johnson.
Thanks again, Barbara for putting us in a splashing, diving, leaping way. Fun's on.
Have a marvelous day out there...watch out, those of you across the big pond...how knows how long this leap frogging will go on.

Let's party!! Looks like some real fun going on in that lily pond area. I like your frog theme. You even went a step further and added your man in the speedos. Crazy creative!! Thanks for filling the gallery with your fun. :>)

The lily pad image is one by PSX, I believe(I have it too). Great coloring with your twist of humor for the Lilliputian man diving in to do his frog kick.

What a fun and imaginative scene you created here! Love the piggy-back frogs and the diver using them as a springboard. The lily pads look fabulous, and the font of the alphabet stamps is so cool! Wonderful!

How cool, Susan! Love those lily pads & your frogs always steal the show. Those lily pads must be humongous or else that little man is from lilliput, lol.

Oh how fun this is, Susan. Leave it to you, my friend, to add an unsuspecting image somewhere in your work. That's just what you do. Who doesn't love to see something that's not expected? Wonderful card.

These are actual stamps?? Holy cow. You did an awesome job. I thought sure you cut something out of a magazine and added to it. Your coloring is fantabulous. I love your sense of humor too.
