The Splashing Pudddles die was cut in Soft Stone to depict gray skies and I used only the top part which I layered onto the Spring Rain card base so that it appears more of a pond than puddles. The lily pad was stamped on a scrap, the lily was colored with pencils and then fussy cut. The frogs were die cut. I placed one frog on a lily pad and used a gel pen to make an eye then added foam tape on the back to pop it up. Then all the other frogs were adhered directly on the card. I added glitter glue to the raindrops for a little sparkle.
I made this card for my grand-nephew who will be four. The inside says: Hoppy, Hoppy Birthday, which I created in an bouncy look using Hero Arts alphabet stamps.
Thanks so much for looking!

That is a wonderful, fun die. And the lily pads/frogs are so cute. Your grand- nephew is sure to smile big when receiving this card. Frogs and boys go together.
