I am running late for Mothermark's Teaparty this week!! All are welcome... join the fun here: http://mothermark.blogspot.com/
I found my frog image from the internet. I wanted him big. This card measures 6 1/4 x 4 1/2. I colored him using prisma pencils and blended with OMS. My lily pad was cut from a piece of celery cs that I had left from a technique-gone-wrong-challenge. It was the technique that embossed wax paper, then iron the wax paper on cs. Then I decided to put the piece of cs back through the embossing folder. I didn't like how it looked for the card I was making at the time. I hung on to it, and it worked for what I needed today! Love when that happens!
I have no idea what is happening at the teaparty today... I'm sure it is entertaining, as usual!!

You do techniques gone wrong? Hey little buddy, we have something else in common! Giggle! Your lily pad is perfection. I know you actually just messed up that technique knowing full well that this frog challenge was just around the corner!
What a big fun frog. We have a few big fat ones at the party. Not alot going on at the tea party cuz its one of those relaxing all day sorta things. Oh yeah, we have had some issues. Some of the little frogs are chasing stuff knocking others over, sinking lily pads, schnockered frogs are falling over, getting back up on the wrong lily pad, lily pad flower fights, you know stuff like that! Just the normal stuff! Giggle!
So glad you came and brought you awesome little frog card. He is big! Hee!

Kris our little froggies are about as opposite in size as you can get. I love how you colored your little frog...oops! I mean BIG frog. Your embossed lily pad was what caught my eye first about your card. How neat that it worked for this card even when it didn't work for the other one.

Sweet frog image Kris. Love how you added the little flower on his belly there. I don't like him, I love him. How completely adorable. TFS
It's going to take alot of dragonflies to fill this one up. I know there are some on the right hand side of Lorraine's little lillypad, if not look over at Anne's or Patricia's you'll find some food for him there. Love it. TFS
