Lots of frogs

Good Morning everyone

Today is some more of those really happy aall&create frogs in action - their expressions just crack me up making me smile every time i see them.....kind of remind me of one of my brothers😁.  When the frogspawn arrives in the pond we know spring is finally on its way, it was late this year, so much so that we were beginning to think we wouldn't get any so were all delighted to see the first frog spawn and had several since. 



When i first used these stamps i stamped and coloured alot of them as i dislike colouring so tend to do several at the same time, so ive finally got around to using them again, they were all watercoloured with oxide inks.  All papers from a lovely paper pad from the works

5x7" white base card.  I cut a piece of paper to fit the base and a mat layer of navy blue cardstock, from the paper piece i die cut the memory box splashing puddles die - this has a lovely water drop background, i added silver holographic behind and attached to the base. The holographic really shimmers when the light hits it - kind of like how the sunlight plays on the water.

I then got arranging all the stamped images, add stamped sentiments and a few touches of glitter glue to finish. 


Version 2 made the same way but this time i used 2 different patterned papers, having the join where the die cut puddles are.  - you cna really see the holographic peeking through on this one behind the puddles.  A different layout with the frogs and quote from the stamp set. 

and lastly a DL card using the leftovers, i added a water paper to the background and die cut circles of another paper from the pad mounted onto larger white circles...........i thought it kind of had the effect of looking like them floating about on the water, relaxing on their day off😁

Items Used:
aall&create stamps 'be hoppy'
Memory  box die 'splashing puddles'
12x12 paper pad - the works 'fresh feeling'
Silver holographic cardstock
Navy & white cardstock
Distress oxide inks - twisted citron, ripe persimmon, picked raspberry, evergreen bough, denim, fossilized amber
