Frogs and Flowers

>> Wednesday, April 7, 2021

Hello Crafty Friends!

Have you seen the fun new Have I Toad You Greeting that we came out with last month?  I used it with the fun Frog on a Log (one of my favorite DRS stamps), but DRS has a lot of stamps it would look fun with such as the toadstool stamps, Frog Boy Cutie Pie Kid, Friendly Flower Frog, and the Tiny Frog.

My backgrounds were made with heat embossing and I used the Tree Slice Woodgrain stamp for the red background.  The image was colored up with water colors.  I cased a card by Cara Denise HERE when making this card. Her sketch inspired me. 

I also want to share a vintage Art Journal page I made last week with the Dogwood Branch stamp.  The vintage picture was a damaged one where I cut off the damage.  My Grandmother is in the middle in the cute skirt - I am guessing she is about 18 in the picture.  

I water-colored the flowers, sponged the cloud background and did some stenciling.  I just kept adding ink and stencils and paper until the background worked. 
Hope you are having a good week.

Hugz,

Nancy

Great card & journal page, Nancy. I like how you used the tree slice on the background. Never thought of doing that. It makes a perfect background for your image. Super cute!

Love both of your projects Nancy! Your card is perfect with that toad and the bg, wow! Amazing work on that! Love the circles from the tree slice and the heavy embossing on the pennant!!
I really love how you have pieces of print showing here and there on the journal and the dogwood blossoms are so pretty on top!
Gorgeous, both of them!
