HYCCT1323 Kiss a Toad

Photo Details

Poster: Cook22

I made this for Paula's Impossible Things (inspired by a fairy tale) challenge for HYCCT today.
Very unimaginative, I'm afraid, although I enjoyed looking through a list of fairy tales on Wikipedia to try to find some other inspiration!

This is our weather today, yay - hardly any rain and plenty of sunshine. I used embedded embossing to make a background with Sizzix papers, MFT dies and SU's Square Lattice folder. I added a few little flower stickers. Unfrogettable stamped on white card and coloured with pencils, cut out and popped up. Sentiment cut with Deckle Rectangles and sponged with greens. Matted on black and then a white base card.

Are you playing along with us? If not, you're missing out on the chance to lift the spirits of women battling breast cancer at MD Anderson, and also on more than $5000 in prizes from your favorite crafty companies. So what are you waiting for? Get to stamping!

I absolutely love how you made your scene and ran it through an embossing folder! It looks amazing! And really makes the smooth elements stand out! So cute!

I haven't found my handsome prince, but I've made a lot of frogs happy...

This is a VERY happy card, Sabrina. Love it.

Love the embedded technique, Sabrina. I'm playing...just started midway through and rushing to catch up! I think I have 8 more to go to be up to the daily challenge! What a worthwhile project!

Oops, you beat me tho this! That frog/toad was the image I was thinking of for this challenge - I don't have much in the way of stamps that lend themselves to the fairytale theme!
I love the way you embossed over the scene and the fun, cheerful colors.
Back to the drawing board for me!

I love the look of the embossed background. That set was always a favorite of mine, yet I rarely use it. Its nice to see it again!
