Kiss the Frog

This card was so MUCH FUN to make!!!  I can't even look at this little froggy without having a chuckle!! 

Most of the elements on this card were created with my Silhouette SD machine - Heart Banner, KISS playing card, chain border and the Frog!!   The Frog and the playing card were done using the Print and Cut feature - LOVE it!!

To give the frog more weight, I cut out three more shapes out of plain white cardstock and glued them all together.  Since I ended up coloring the sides of the shapes in black, next time I am just going to cut these out of black cardsctock instead..

I also want to show you how this printed Frog looked like before I added some more color to him with Copics..

HUGE difference!!  I also gave him the googly eyes and crowned this little Prince with Tim Holtz Crown die cut!!

White Christmas

I LOVE making white on white cards for Christmas.. they seem to ALWAYS turn out so elegant!!  I wasn't sure about white poinsettia, but I think it works!!!  Believe it or not, this card was inspired by one of Tim Holtz's tags, this one. 

I used this Spellbinders Poinsettia die last year, but my card last year didn't look anything like this.. this one I LIKE!!  I shaped the petals and popped the layers of the flower.  Background grid was made with my Scor-Pal.

This card is one of the projects at my upcoming upcoming December Workshop!!  To see other projects that we will be making at the Workshop please click HERE.
