Well, I decided to do the Inspiration Challenge tonight because it is my favorite out of all the challenges. I'm so thankful that Stef posted it early because I need to be in bed. I am so stuffy and got a runny nose. Allergy season is here.
Ok, here is my story: I took 4 different ink pads and dipped each finger in each color. I used my own fingertips for the bodies of the frogs. I drew a circle around each fingerprint with a black unibal pen. I also drew the eyes, arms, and the legs. This was really easy to do and I believe it took me about 15 minutes. I mounted this to the base of the card too. Thanks so much Stef for posting early. Now, I can go get some sleep. I might try another card tomorrow. Thanks for viewing my card as well as your comments.
What do you think? I wanted it to look like the picture, so I didn't add any ribbon.
I'm sorry for the bad lighting. Really need to take my camera in to the doctor.
