Hi! This card was made for today's Clean and Simple Challenge: Greens, Browns and White AND for today's Technique Lover's Challenge: DP me... (make your own designer paper.) This also fits the Free 4 All Challenge: I want the Fairy Tale: The Frog Prince! And, it fits the Stampin B's Challenge to make a Spring card!
Okay, when I saw the Technique Challenge I laughed because I misread it to say, TP me. I thought, "Okay. How does one combine the CAS and the technique toilet paper challenge?" I kept going to that horrible place that 8 year old boys' minds would travel! LOL ANYWAY... I re-read the technique challenge and it was designer paper! Thank goodness! I stamped the fern onto Hazelnut Tan in VersaMark and embossed in gold. Next, I inked the ferns in Espresso and then Landscape and stamped them onto the die panel. The frog/toad was stamped onto Speedy the Cat's Morning Milk Linen and sponged in with Chartreuse, Viridian Leaf and Landscape. I cut him out and adhered him with a pop dot. I finished it off with a sheer ribbon and Frog/Toad Charm.
Finished size: 4 3/4" square
Total time to complete: 18 minutes
