This is
my second card for the Time Out Challenge photo inspiration. The cute little
tree frog is from a Beccy’s Place digi set that includes three inspirational
sentiments. For this card, I paired the little cutie with foliage patterned
paper and a computer-generated sentiment that always makes me smile. (An exciting note- Beccy Muir, artist/owner of Beccy’s
Place, is holding a retirement sale of several digi sets for 50% off (meaning
that this set is just $1.95 US!). Besides this set, I have several others, so
I’ll be posting cards made with them between now and March 31st.
Check the sale listing out HERE!)
I'm entering this card into several other challenges including the Lift Challenge (my lattice fence looks a bit different than the inspiration card, because I quickly realized that he couldn't "squeeze" through the spaces in the lattice of my originally planned fence. So, the size and spacing of the fence planks had to be changed!) and two Spring themed challenges (I wasn't quite sure when frogs show up... so googled it and learned that the do "pop up" literally, in the Spring!)

My final card for the Time
Out Challenge features a cute digi named “Skippers Pocket.” (I love the name
Skipper for a frog!) After coloring the digi with alcohol markers, I used gel
pens to add the look of “embroidery floss” to the flowers on the pocket and stitching
to the pocket and background frame. I also added silver brads to the pocket and
a scrap of doily to dress it up a bit!

Such wonderful cards with great ideas, you are so creative Kathy. x
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card, Kathy. I really love how this cute frog is peeking out. Thank you so much for joining us at Time Out. Hugsxx Deepti
ReplyDeleteYour card is so cute, Kathy. I love the frog peeping through the fence. Thanks for sharing at the Double D, "Signs of Spring" Challenge.
ReplyDeleteKathy, your card is so very cute. And that sentiment is hysterical! I love it. I can laugh because I'm someone who is approaching old myself! And the frog is adorable. I also like the texture of the lattice fence. As guest designer over at Word Art Wednesday I just wanted to pop over and say Hi and to thank you for sharing your talents with us!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Kathy, love the froggy theme! Well done on figuring out the lattice issue... I think the way you've spaced the palings looks fantastic, much more decorative than consistent squares. You've used the image in a very clever way too, well done!
ReplyDeleteThe little frog peeking out of the pocket is adorable! It reminds me of something my sister would have done as a child... she absolutely loved all types of animals and had no fear of anything. Even now she is surrounded by them on her hobby farm. Great cards Kathy!
Cheers,
Beccy
