'Make a Splash !!! '

Good afternoon Followers, Friends and Visitors,

Hope everyone is managing to keep warm, wow! the weather here is bitterly cold, woke up to a thick coating of frost this morning.....Jack Frost had a very busy night lol!!

Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my last post.   I really like to know just what you think of my creations...good or bad lol!   your comments mean a great deal to me, so thanks again for the encouragement, makes me want to get started straightaway on my next project!

My card today was made using a  stamp and die set which was given free with the Papercraft Essentials Craft magazine - issue 158.    This set also included a cute duck and a pair of wellingtons.   I did make a card using them a few weeks ago and is on my blog.   Below is the card made using the three little froggies, hope you like this one.

        
Make a square white base card and matt and layer a smaller square of the dark navy card onto it.   Cut a smaller square of white card and colour it with the Ultramarine and Turquoise  Brusho paints and water.

Using the reeds stamp from the set and a black ink pad, stamp the reeds approximately a third of the way up the coloured card.

Stamp the frog  four times onto a spare  piece of white card and colour with Promarker pens.  Glue three of the frogs to the coloured card, using silicone glue.   Cut only the top half of the fourth frog and glue to the middle frog, again using silicone glue.

Stamp the two sentiments to the top of the card using a black ink pad.

           

   
Stamp the word 'Ribbet' three times in black ink onto white card, cut out and glue one above each frog.

Colour some white card with the Hibiscus and Jade Starlight paints and from this, die-cut 3 puddles and nine water droplets,  using the dies from the set.

   
Glue these to the card front, fixing the puddles to the bottom of the card, adding a few splashes to each frog.

Fix this coloured card to the base card using double sided sticky tape and the card is finished.

Well, that's me for the moment.   Hope your preparations for Christmas are coming along nicely.   I am, as usual, behind !!  but I usually get there in the end lol!    Stay warm and snug and I'll be back again soon.

                                                            Love and rainbows,
