Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Summer Sun, Only Orange and Kiwi Kiss/Old Olive.
I'm sick. I mean, sore throat, running then stuffy nose, coughing, taking NYQUIL in the DAY TIME, mouth breathing sick. So, you can imagine how well I stamped this morning. Part of my "physical therapy" for RA is to type, cut and color. So, I HAD to make this card today. Funny, yesterday I loved stamping...today, after coloring 4 frogs and 7 flowers, I'm not so sure! I cut off the HEAD of the frog completely, the first time I cut one out...I had to rethink that, go to bed, wake up and try again.
The frog and flower were stamped on watercolor paper, colored with SU! markers and I used an aqua painter to blend the colors. The watering can is a Sizzix die cut. It started out white, was sponged heavily, and then I used a scraggely tipped marker to add the black highlights.

Hi Faith! Love the bright and cheery card - beats the weather here today! Haven't seen the sun peek out in St. Augustine yet! Sorry to hear you are sick - hope it passes quick!
