For this challenge I used my newest stamp release from Gina K (I wanted to do one with Anna's posies, but I didn't get it in time, can try to post one later).
This card was done entirely with Copics, my first time to use them on a card. (It may not have been such a good idea to use watercolor paper with them?) I made this card for Debbie Olson as a thank you for designing such fabulous samples with my first set, so I wanted to use a three paneled sketch she has on her blog. (I wasn't able to do the notched out portion she had because I needed my frog to be at both the top left and bottom right, but I hope it's still close enough to the sketch to count.) I thought the divided panels would be perfect for the little scenes I wanted to create.
When I drew this frog, I thought a lot could be done with this pose! So I really wanted to showcase "the assets", and have a sample to demonstrate how you can make him jump in or out*, cut or mask him to break the surface, or emerging with a little somethin' he picked just for you. I skipped inking up the droplets in my puddle image on the first panel to look more like still water, since he has yet to make his big splash!
I colored the brads and used the ticket punch to make the notched corners, and a piece of SU! DP to finish it off. Lots of Stardust Stickles on the water and butterflies, and it's hard to see here, but a Sakura glaze pen on his bulgy frog eyeballs.
