Hello, sweet friends! Well, I am "late" again with this new digi, but today's Inspiration Challenge was what finally inspired me to finish my card. It is an unlikely image that inspired me today -- a frog. It's sort of a funny inspiration for flowers, right? Haha! Yes, it was one of the sample ideas that Stacy shared . . . a blue frog on green leaves with some dark gray/black. Since some of Susie Cooper tea cups are found in dark colors with white polka dots, I finished coloring the cup a darker color and used a white gel pen for the polka dots. I added some grounding and some stripes to the tea cloth after I finished coloring it (since I used a regular blue writing pen). Not sure it's my favorite (since I struggled with the darkness and wish I had stopped sooner), but I enjoyed the challenge. I used a new decorative die from Gina Marie Designs to add a bit of frill and then mounted it on a Marina Mist card base. Voila! It is done, and I hope you like it. I think it is growing on me a little. ;)
Remember that spring is next Tuesday! Hugs, all! xoxo

Wow, gorgeous flowers! No one would ever guess the colors were inspired by a frog. Beautiful coloring on the image. Love the die-cut stitching and edging. Very nicely done! F.R.O.G = fully rely on God. TFS
