you hafta kiss a lotta toads before you meet your handsome prince!
And Happy St Paddy's day, friends! I'm late to the party today, but thanks Sabrina for your Think Three!!! ways to challenge. I managed 3 Toads, 3 coloring methods, and 3 ways to accent the eyes on said toads.
The All Night Media 'Bullfrog' fella was done in the TLC577 Smackin' Acetate style...I used 3 shades of TH distress markers to create his pattern. The Inkadinkadoo Amy Smyth made it 'lil' guy was colored with watercolor crayons, and that Stampendous 'Sir Toad' was created from a scrap of leftover Brushos. His umbrella is paper pieced.
That fab fence from Art Impressions was inked with TH distress pads and heat imposed with distress walnut stain ep. I then ran it through the big shot with a wooden embossing folder. It is stapled (cheaply the way many new fences are these days) to my card base.
Don't you just luv that kiss ticket (Inkadinkadoo). Inked with the 'Lilac Posies' and a 'Black Soot' distress marker. The top is finished off with Washi red violet tape and the sticker letters TOAD on top.
So if you've been following my ballerina froggie and that handsome dreamin' of luv frog, you'll welcome this trio of suitors. 'Cause you can't just kiss one, right???
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I finally kissed my way through to my prince charming over 30 years ago...and he approved this card, smile!!!

What a wonderful trio of toads, Susan - and green too, you should get a bonus for that today of all days!! The texturing in the fence looks brilliant. So glad you were able to triple up and add this delightful card to the gallery.

Super card, great story and explanation of all the techniques you used. Have seen your other cards, think this is the 3rd card in this series? Wonderful, croak, croak, said Mr. Toad.
