Hoppy Birthday froggy card

Recipe:

Stamps: Unfrogettable, Shapes & Shadows, Hot to Dot wheel, Riveting, Print Pattern

Paper: Black, Sage Shadow, Glossy white, Pretty in Pink

Ink: VersaMark, Basic Black, Sage Shadow, Pretty in Pink, Apricot Appeal

Accessories: Crayon, sponges, Dimensionals, “stamp” deco scissors, zigzag ribbon, mini Pop Dots, circle punch (1&3/4”?)

Techniques: crayon resist

I did the main feature using one of my favorite techniques: crayon resist. I stamped the Unfrogettable critters in Basic Black on Glossy white cs. For added interest, I stamped the twinkle image from Shapes & Shadows. Then I ran a crayon around the edges of the critters and then sponged Sage Shadow, Pretty in Pink, and Apricot Appeal over them. Then I rubbed the crayon off with a rag and mounted the piece to black cs.

I rolled the Hot to Dot wheel twice over the Sage Shadow cs and mounted that to the black. I added the ribbon to the crayon resist feature and mounted that onto the Sage Shadow using Dimensionals.

Then I stamped the “Hoppy Birthday” stamp on Pretty in Pink cs which was already stamped with Print Pattern (a scrap from my collection) and punched it out with a big circle punch. I adhered that to a scrap of black cs and then cut it out using some “stamp” deco scissors. I adhered that to the crayon resist piece with Dimensionals.

I stamped the Riveting image on both Sage Shadow and Pretty in Pink in Basic Black ink. I punched out the middle on both, and then punched the outside of the Sage piece. I mounted the sage piece with mini Pop Dots onto the crayon resist piece. Then I mono-ed the pink center circle piece underneath and in the center of the sage piece.
