A brilliant card. The image is fantastic and I love the way you've made the frog look like he's jumping of the page - really lifelike - brilliant

If you would like to drop me a line with your details on I'll pop it in the post for you.
So on to today's card
Ooooo the power of masking tape, I started the card by masking off a strip along the top and the bottom of a piece of card then using teal ink and a sponge I blended the ink into the centre of the card, using the same ink I stamped the flourish from the silent night stamp set (Papertrey Ink) and stamped around the edges of the blended centre. After removing the masking tape I embossed both top and bottom of the card with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots A2 embossing folder.
I stamped a sentiment from Stampin Up and used the circle punch to cut it out.
After that a bit of matting a layering and a ribbon and a couple of charms were added.

If you would like to have this card then please leave me a comment and I'll do a draw for it.

    Hi Jak, love the card. Teal is one of my favourite colours, and I think combined with white, always gives an elegant look.
