Hi! These cards were made for today's Technique Lovers Challenge: The Same...But Different!
Well...I LOVE this frog from the set: Our Side of the Pond...And, frankly, I had a bunch of these mushrooms from the new set: Garden Fairies, sitting on my desk, from the pieced card I made for Friday's Challenge...So, I colored them up, and tried to figure out how in the world I was going to cover up the spot where I cut OFF the fairy who was sitting on the top of the mushroom. I grabbed up the frog and WOW! I was thrilled that the frog fit on the mushroom! However, there is a little butterfly that sits on the mushroom, too. And, that little butterfly is too small compared to the frog. What to do? Well....there is a BIG butterfly in the Garden Fairies set. I LOVE that butterfly, because it is very easy to adapt to a needed space. What do I mean by that? Well...I stamped the image and CUT OFF THE RIGHT wing! And, it looks like a SIDE VIEW of the butterfly! Cool, right? And, it is the PERFECT size for this mushroom/frog combo!
I colored in the mushrooms, butterflies and the frogs with Copic Markers: YG95, E17, YR20, YR68, YG25, R21, YR12, E95, YR16, E97, YR61, RV17, BG45, E33.
To keep the "same" I used the same papers, and ALMOST the same layout. However, I stretched a layer that drew the parts together. So, one card is CAS and one is MORE.
What do you think?
Finished card sizes: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Total time to complete BOTH cards: 54 minutes

These are both beautiful, but I like the framed one just a teensie, weensie bit better.
