I have a pretty quick card for today's Free for All (fussy cutting) & yesterday's Ways to Use It (bugs).
I stamped the brick wall w/ gray ink then colored it w/ gray Copics. The sky was sponged w/ a self made cloud stencil. I decided it was easier to just stamp Mr. Frog on a separate piece, color him & fussy cut him than try to mask out the wall & the original log the frog sits on. I made a slit along the top of the wall to insert him & make it look like he was leaning on it. The little grass sprigs & ladybug were also fussy cut & added. The greeting was added on a thought/speech bubble along w/ some dragonflies.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

This gave me a smile and a giggle, Julie : ) That frog resting his "arm" on the brick wall is too fun. Your card is meticulously put together, as always!

I like the way you tucked that frog behind the wall and great job on fussy cutting the itty bitty bug & grass - the trio of sparkly dragonflies is a nice touch.
