Life Is Better With A Good Friend!

Hi friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

I have some pretty exciting news to share...

I'm so happy to announce that I will be joining the Ink N' Splatter Design Team!

I just adore their images and am looking forward to getting creative & being a part of the team! 

Here is a look at today's card:

These little frogs...seriously make me smile every time I look at them lol!

To create my card, I started with a Kraft card base in A2 size & layered some patterned paper from the On The Pond paper pack onto the front. I cut a strip of patterned paper, added some twine and notched one end before adding the strip to my card front. I stamped out those adorable frogs, the fly and cattails from the Pond Life Pairables stamp set and colored them with my Copic markers. Once I had them colored in, I cut them out and layered them onto a die cut circle. I stamped my greeting onto a strip of Kraft cardstock, die cut it out and adhered that under my little frogs before popping up my scene piece with foam tape onto the front of my card. I added a bit of shimmer with a Wink Of Stella Clear pen to the wings of the fly and the frog's bow to complete my card.
