*Editing* to add, after showing this to my husband (who is my amazing critic)...said, 'I would have altered the sentiment to: 'Follow your dreams for they TOAD endless possibilities'! Bug Smile!
even if I squint, I can't get all my bingo chips in a line. I am so busted! Those are some terrific color combinations, Mary. I just happened to be a monochromatic girl today, Key Lime, Grass Green, Daffodil yellow, and an aroma of early espresso.
My bee~U~tiful froggie ballerina was inked on a 'mistake' from last week trying to create a Daffodil card for a CAS. I rather like the greenie color of her skin. I used Primary Elements mixed with a gel medium for the tutu..a second underskirt and then those pretty green daisy petals for the third layer. That skirt is held up by the German black scrap foil. Her ballet shoes are inked with the Signo white gel pen. And a t~tiny gold crown on top of her cranium.
The cupcake was inked on Basic Grey 'Fact' green paper and then run through a crimper. It does indeed have ridges. Frosting embossed with Sea Foam White. I stenciled the edges with a Donna Downey collage of letters and dots. A few sequins, well placed. Added the Key Lime net cut into points, just like her skirt.
Just what is she reaching for? Her dream I am guessing...so, friends, whatever your dream may be, keep on reaching, twirling, dancing...you'll get there.
I'm gonna go practice Bingo...might just get it right next time. Wink.

Not only does your imagination have no bounds but your mixed media is fabulous Susan! I did smile when I saw this! Talk about creativity at it's best! You always manage to exceed my expectations when I see your cards!

Ah ha, so you decided to 'cheat' to make your card work, did you? Hey, I'm totally fine with that (although I really must work harder with following the requirements than you do). Love the stencil work and your crimped cupcake wrapper. It's you, my friend. Toadally fun and creative.
