Hoppy Birthday

Good Morning everyone

Today is 2 cards made using the hoppy frog stamps from aall&create, teamed up with feeling fresh paper pad from the works and sizzix polaroid frame die.


7x7" card.  I first stamped all the images onto white card and watercoloured with distress inks and cut them out.  I then die cut the smallest polaroid frame from white card and matted them onto navy blue cardstock, i then die cut the frame again from a patterned paper and glued the paper into the frame as a background for my frogs.  I then stamped the words with blue ink and glued the frogs into place with glue gel.

I matted a square of paper onto navy and then the base card.  I added a strip of one of the papers to the base and then a large paper circle die cut.  All the papers are from the same paper pad.  I glued the polaroid frames into place with glue gel and got arranging all the extras around them.  I added orange glitter dots to finish, picking up on the orange ink i used on the frogs eyes and the damselflies.  



Just a close up, i used glossy accents on the frogs eyes and glitter glue in the middle of the waterlily.


and version 2
Made the same way, only this time i used a soft orange for my mat layers, picking up on the orange accents in my characters and also using paler patterned papers.  Green gems to add some bling to finish. 


Items Used:
Aall&create stamps 'be hoppy'
Sizzix polaroid frame dies
Spellbinders grand circle dies
Make&create paper pad from the works 'feeling fresh'
Distress inks - squeeshed lemonade, twisted citron, evergreen bough, blueprint sketch, ripe persimmon
