My card for today is a little unusual for me (I think so anyway!!) The main difference is that it's a more subtle card than I'm used too
I started my card by stamping one corner of our Four Corner Butterfly stamp (M385) using Vivid dye inks in Spring Green, Green, and Vintage Green. I went a little light in the center and heavier on the edges. Next I dry rubbed spring green around the outside and turquoise dye ink in the center.
Next I stamped our Frog on a Log (H252) on a separate piece of white card stock and colored him using markers, then cut him out. I also stamped his face a second time and just cut out his eyes. I adhered the frog to the center of my background then cut a piece of vellum slightly smaller, and stamped more "reeds" across the bottom again in my 3 green colors. I used vellum tape around the edges and attached it to the center and then used double stick tape to attach the separate eyes on top. I adhered all of it onto a folded black card.
I stamped the Eyes for You greeting (D092) on white and dry rubbed a little green ink on top and after trimming I layered it on black card stock and attached it too.
Thanks for stopping by and good luck!!

I know it says "I only have eyes for you" but that little frog looks like he has so much on his mind! Such a contemplative little fella...love it!

I've had a stack of vellum paper in my stash for over a year. I've never used it before. After seeing this adorable card I'm going to have to give it a try. Thanks!!
