Measurements: The white image panel is 4 ¼” x 2 ½”, the just a note panel is4 ¼ x ½”. Borders are 1/16” and 1/8” larger all around.
-I love these frogs and they are fun to color in, I used Prismacolor pencils and baby oil for blending with paper stumps.
-All edges but the black are lightly ink distressed.
-I used Sakura gel pen, the Stampin Up Mat Pack and Making Memories paper piercer for my faux stitches.
-Crop a dile was used for setting the musical note eyelets.
-The eyelets go thru the top three layers; they have a hole in them which showed the green color under it so I used a black marker to color in the cardstock.

What a fun card Rox! Makes me smile! Your coloring is absolutely amazing!
Today when I walked outside, I grabbed the doorknob to make sure the door shut/locked and squealed with surprise because there was a cold little froggie on it! He was an adorable little green guy with a white stripe and really beautiful eyes! It is so hot here in Florida, his throat was just flittering he was panting so fast! So cute!

Super cute, Roxie! Love the musical eyelets, and those frogs are hilarious. They remind me of Winston, who was the froggy mascot of The WB when it was still The WB and not The CW...
