We are sending Teapotter hugs along with some encouragement and support, to Susie in Naples, Florida. Our TEApotter Hostess Jen (Jennifrann), has challenged us with a fun game of BINGO.
The choices were terrific, I have chosen the row "Ribbon, Blue, Frogs". I may be ruled out on a technicality as the ribbon is the paper bow on Princess Froggies dress. Originally I was doing the "Sparkle, Embossing and Frogs".
I tried to dry emboss the background, but I soon learnt that it would take a Big Mac truck to make a dint in the polypropylene paper! Heat embossing is definitely out of the question, I still have flashbacks to the small fire and melted polyprop LOL.
The background was made by tipping Dr. P. Martins India inks at the top of a large sheet of polypropylene, squirting on some water, then lifting the sheet up and allowing gravity to do its thing. I should add that underneath all the india inks there is a heap of failed attempts using Distress re-inkers, Jane Davenport coloured liquid inks and Brusho's that had been almost wiped off.
I bought this gorgeous digi frog image from the Sherri Baldy Etsy store, then coloured her with Prismacolour pencils, Zest it pencil blend and highlighted with Copics, Stickles and Liquid Pearls.
Thanks for looking and I hope you get a chance to join in.
