Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: DIY DP (Do It Yourself Designer Paper!)
Okay....I wanted to use Freud the Frog on this card. He's a Mood Frog and has a Cameo Coral belly today. Cameo Coral is a "confused" color! You see, Freud the Frog doesn't understand why he had to listen to me grumble about pinching my arm with the Crop-A-Dile...He can't understand how in the world the Crop-A-Dile could pinch the flabby part of my upper arm...Freud the Frog is not a woman, therefore, he has no clue about how sensitive we women are about our upper arm fat!!!!
I made the designer paper by using a straight edge and drawing lines with Stampin' Up! markers.
Next, I ran the Basic Black strip thru the crimper and added the Jumbo Eyelets, (these were set with my hateful Crop-A-Dile), ribbon & twine, and the charm. (I colored the charm FIRST with a Signo Pen.(It acted as a PRIMER!) Then, I added colors with Stampin' Up! markers!)
The focal image is from Gina K. Designs. I stamped it 3 times on Whisper white and colored each image. Next, I cut out the images and layered the legs.
The Cameo Coral card stock is HEAVILY sponged with Cameo Coral and Only Orange ink.
What do you think?
