well, if truth be toad, I missed a part of Beate's tutorial about misting the colors before you smack it onto your paper. I smacked my toad and then fussy cut him. So the bones of the technique are there...just not as vivid.
Love is in the air after my ballerina frog made an appearance in the gallery last week. And my toady fella better get busy...I made wings for him with the ACT feather stamp and die cut set. I used three of the dies, two on velum and one on an olive paper. He just needs to read the sentiment and spread those wings...
The background was made with the bubble stencil. I used the FX acrylic inks in 4 colors. It was a perfect foil for using sequins...and I managed a whole 9 on this card...
Mr Toad is going to grace the CAS gallery today...the challenge was bring out those Spring Critters...and I hope he gathers his courage and finds luv.
Have a wonderful week, all. And thanks very much for stopping by...

With wings like that, he could grace any beauty show. He is adorable. I am lovin' the entire card and am very grateful for the sentiment. Way to go, Susan.

Most times I just get to work without checking what has gone in the gallery before me, and today I'm so glad I looked. I thought I'd add a Spring frog, and there's NO WAY I'd want to compete with your frog lookin' for luv (in all the wrong places?). He's fab..and I'm hoping for good things for him. Love those wings and dots...sequins? WOW!
