Frog Unfrog-getable

I found a new Challenge Blog called Cuttlebug Mania and decided to join in on this tough challenge, I had to use a frog.

Would you like to join in on the challenge Click Here.

I looked up frog cards on Pinterest and found this one.

I changed the colors and products used to make this a guy card.

 I am using my Cricut Expression machine to cut out my images.

I need a new mat but like to get the most out of my mats so I have some washi tape holding down my card stock.

 This is my Gpsy and I am able to size and get rid of lines from the images I do not want on the final cut.

I used Create A Critter cartridge booklet as my guide.

 Does any one else still have this machine and their gpsy.

 Since this is a Cuttle Bug challenge I brought out mine, my first ever die cutting machine.

I am embossing my back ground with two different folders, a swirl for the water and clouds for the sky.

 I am using Bazzil card stock which matches most of my Stampin Up inks.

Also some back ground stamps to give some texture to my images.

 I used Stampin UP back ground stamps, one is an older wood grain and one is a marble.

 I found a smile stamp but it was a bit to wide so I inked it up and used a baby wipe to remove some ink from both sides of the smile.

I added some google eyes to my frog and also a stamped flower for the belly.

 A combonation of liquid glue and foam dots to put the project together.

 Fun Foam for the main panel and a Hexagon punch to make a banner end for my sentiment.

Finished card, I used the same wood grain stamp to add texture to the main card base.
