I have two daughters my 6 year old loves frogs and bugs, and princesses and jewlery, she is a well rounded girly girl who loves to hunt and find insects and frogs.
My 4 year old is deathly, and I really mean deathly afraid of bugs. She gets terrified when even a fly gets near her!
Well I made this card for my 6 year old today they are always asking me to make them cards and I usually get busy getting projects ready for club or a workshop and just do not always get them done.
So today when I sat down to do both the Color Challenge and Lauren Meaders Saturday Sketch challenge card I thought I am making this one for Piper.
Recipe:
I got out my Dress up Lily and Billy Pink Cat Studio stamps and the accessories sets to make this Frog and Bug Huntin Card.
I stamped colored and cut them out, then took my Scallop Square Nesties and made the Square on Kiwi Kiss, then I cut the circles with my coluzzel, embossed them with the geometric circles cuttlebug folder, and took a Corner rounder and made the circles scalloped. That was my first time to try that! It was fun and worked but I got to get me them Scallop Circle Nesties!
I took some cool Geometric ribbon with all three of the challenge colors in them and added it to the bottom corner and made the medalian with Sentiment in the top corner.
For more Deets and details on how to make the Medalian plus more cropped and detailed pictures of this card you can visit my stamping blog, It also has lots of tutorials, 3-D projects, scrap book pages digital and paper, and lots of cards too!
