Un-frog-ettable

Today's Challenge (over on The House that Stamps Built) is Designer's Choice. Joy wants to see circles on your creations this week! I decided to do something FUN and created a pond full of lily pads and water lilies for this week's challenge.

To create my card I:

• Inked up a piece of blue card stock with Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink
• Spritzed it with water and heat set it
•  Added some water lines with a white gel pen
• Cut two sizes of green circles with my Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders)
• using small scissors I cut around the circles in wavy lines and cut the indent
• Inked the edges with Pine Needles Distress Ink to create shadows
• Added faux stitching with a white gel pen
• Punched two sizes of flowers from pink cardstock
• Inked the edges with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide
• Layered two together, off setting to see all the petals
• Die cut some tiny yellow flowers from Exquisite Poppy Dies (Sue Wilson) and added those to the center of the large flowers
• Added tiny pearls to the center of the large lilies 
• Added liquid pearls to the centers of the small flowers
• Stamped  9724-G, Happy Frog on light green card stock
• Inked the edges with Pine Needles Distress Ink, added a red smile, liquid pearl eyes, and a tiny pink heart
•  Stamped 9704-F, Un-frog-ettable in Mowed Lawn/Pine Needles Distress Ink (Ranger)
• Created a banner and added the frog with mounting tape
