frog Archives - Inkspired Treasures

The theme this week over on SUO Challenges is “Your Favorite New Stamp Set”. Well, that was a hard choice for me. I have several that I seem to pick up all the time, mostly flowers, of course. But this set, You’re Sublime, has grabbed my heart. I went to bed last night thinking about what type of card to make with this set and woke up with this idea in my head! lol!

I kind of borrowed Mary Brown’s CAS style with this card, too! But, isn’t he too cute sitting on the lily pad?

Here are the details for you to recreate this card:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pool Party, folded in half.
On the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White, the splotches from Gorgeous Grunge was stamped twice with Pool Party Ink in the lower right corner.
Then the Sassy Salutations greeting was stamped with Black Stazon next to it.
The frog from You’re Sublime was stamped with Black Stazon on scrap Whisper White and watercolored with the Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow Markers and an AquaPainter. He was cut out.
The lily pad is the Extra Large Oval punched from Mossy Meadow cardstock, with a v cut out of one side. The flower is the Petite Petals Punch from Whisper White and the center is the Itty Bitty Flower from Daffodil Delight cardstock. A Perfect White Accent was colored with an orange Sharpie and added to the center.
Both the lily pad and the frog were popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Super quick and easy, but lots of fun, don’t you think? Make sure to check out the rest of the SUO Challenge Design Team and see what their favorite new stamp set is!

Can you believe this Unfrogettable set is retiring in less than a month! I have used it so much on kids cards and cheer-me-up cards! Call me to order your set today before it is GONE!

This is another card that I finished due to a challenge between Mary and I. We used the SCS sketch and had to use Taken with Teal and Wild Wasabi colors, along with Black and White. I love how the black makes these colors pop out at you! The background on the Taken with Teal I swiped some Taken with Teal ink across the cardstock, just to give it a little dimension.

I also pulled out my black gingham ribbon (I have a feeling it may retire this year), but I wanted it to appear wide across the card, so I used two lengths of it. I placed the Photo Corner punch with Pewter mini brads on two ends. Fun card!

I started working on my swaps for Convention yesterday. At least I have a couple ideas percolating right now. I need to work on my Technique Junkies assignments today and start prepping for a couple classes next week. I know what designs I’m doing with them, just need to start cutting paper!

Have a great day! We are having BEAUTIFUL weather!
