Happy Monday everyone, I hope your weekend was a good one!I made this card for two challenges. First is the Stars & Stamps #29 sketch challenge found here. Next up is the SCS Technique Tuesday challenge which is to use TT stamps. That challenge is here but it ends today. I picked up this cute TT stamp set called "Ribbit" at the Valley Forge Convention last week. I love the tiny, detailed fly image almost as much as the frog, so I made 3 little fly embellishments on the bottom of this card by stamping with versafine onyx black ink, coloring with a Tombow marker and adding some Glossy accents. I hate flies, but I like these little guys LOL! The frog was stamped with Versamark, and embossed with Hunter Green ep, while the leaves were stamped using Wild Wasabi. I added more color to the frog and background with Tombows and stickles, then added some Wasabi ribbon and a button with navy hemp. The vertical DP is from Basic Grey Two Scoops and the blue background is from the PTI bitty box collection. I used two different Cuttlebug embossing folders for the background and panel.
Next up is a card using the same sketch as above, only I flipped it and added a circle sentiment. This is a stamped image I received from Michelle last year. I colored it but never made a card until now. I used Tombows for coloring and added some silver deco pen accents to the ribbon and bow on the package. The sentiment is from G Studios, while the DP is all Figgy Pudding from BG (one of my all-time favs). I made a few faux brads to balance everything out.It's going to be another hot one here in PA, so I've already run all my errands and I'm staying indoors and chilling for the day! Stay cool and have a good one!!

Your frog and, yes, even the flies made me smile! Love the way you colored & embellished the frog and the embossing on the patterned strip makes it look quilted!!
