Stampin! with Jaydee

 

As soon as I saw leap year... I went straight to my Skipping Stones stamp set and stamped the frog onto x-press card stock and went to coloring him with my Copic markers.  I really had such fun coloring him. I wanted to keep it really clean and simple and stamped the sentiment in black onto the middle of the card base.  However... I decided it needed a little more for the outside and fussy cut the frog and mounted it on to a wobble spring.   Oh... now that was what it needed.   BUT... he still needed a lily pad - so I found a piece of green DSP and sketched out a lily pad shaped and added some shading with Copics.

 

Here's the outside of the card:

 

Now... it's a great outside.... but I'm guessing you want to know what the inside of the card says?

 

INSIDE:

 

BUT... He's lost and won't ask for directions!

 

Now... I don't know about y'all, but Lou will not ask for directions when he's lost :-)

 

On a personal note:

 

For those of you who enjoy my bird photos - he's a shot of a Nuthatch for you.  I love this photo.
