Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Spotlight on Circles!
We could use ANY stamps, inks, papers, or embellishments. We could ONLY use circle cutting TOOLS... Wow...Kinda makes it hard to make a scallop, doesn't it? LOL!!!
I wanted to make a FUN birthday card for my SIL who LOVES frogs! I mean, SHE LOVES frogs!!!!(She has a bathroom and craft
room DEVOTED to frogs!!!) Frogmania??? (Hey, who am I to talk? At least she doesn't have so many cats that people in her neighborhood call her the Cat Lady!!!)OH, and her frogs are NOT alive...Hey, maybe I should collect STUFFED cats? I don't know...Speedy the Cat might object to that!
So, in honor of my SIL, I decided to use Leapert Leggs on today's card. (He's NEW, from Treehouse Stamps!) However, it was difficult getting Leapert Leggs to come out of hiding...You see, I had a bit of help stamping today...(See my blog for photos!)
I colored Leapert Leggs with SU! markers. I added Signo pen highlights to the branch to give it a look of Birch.
The background circles were cut with a Coluzzle. I added dots with a SU! marker and Signo Pen.

I think your cards are always a blast of colours! The green of the frog comes out well with the contours of him sponged only the way you know how. Magnificent work Faith, I really am aspiring to find mysefl a style, but everything will come to me in time. 'Till then, I'm trying some and yours is so cool. TFS
