I have got, got, got to set up my studio lights again. I got drowned on the way home from work and went to bed to get warm and dry, so I wasn't finished in time for a daylight photo - will replace tomorrow
For Lydia's WT challenge yesterday to incorporate a 3D element into our card and for today's F4A to use our go-to embellishment.
Plan A for 3D didn't work because it called for the leaping frog, and he was too big.
Plan B - a 5" square base sponged with Forest Moss and Peeled Paint.
Water layer created using SAS woodgrain stamp - I inked it with Brilliance Sky Blue and embossed with clear EP, then washed over it with H2Os.
Photo corners sponged with Peeled Paint, embossed with Swiss Dots and Liquid Pearls added to all the dots.
Spellbinders Dahlia sponged with Forest Moss and Peeled Paint, then embossed with Spots and Dots. I then scored a vertical line just inside the two petals on the left. Sentiment cut with Spellbinders circle and sponged with Mustard Seed, more Liquid Pearls added.
Layer underneath stamped with Lily Pad wheel, cut with Dahlia and then coloured and sponged while still in the die. I stuck this to the base and then the top layer, then used a brad and photo turn to hold it closed.
My little pop-up frog is on a paper spring made like those old accordion Christmas decorations. You don't need to use too heavy paper or it won't really spring - printer weight paper is fine.

What a cute card, and how fab to make the frog "hop". Just adorable, Sabrina.
