You're Toadally Awesome!

If you recall, I told you I made too many toads when I made my Hoppy Mother's Day card.  I always seem to stamp and color too many of whatever I am using when I make a card.  Partially that's due to my lack of coloring skills, how many times I mess up die cutting the image, and then because, even with my MISTI, I sometimes don't get a good enough image but don't notice it until I go to color it.  All of that ends up with me having tons of leftover images.  They do get used eventually, like I've done here!

What I Used to Make my Card:
White Card Base
Left Over Toads from Hoppy Mother's Day
Die-Namics Blueprints 27, #MFT-870
Distress Oxide Inks in Broken China, Lucky Clover and Cracked Pistachio
Distress Sprayer 
White Card
Green Card
Versamark Ink
Wow! Primary Ebony Super Fine Embossing Powder, #WHOOSF
Dimensional Dots

For this card, the first step was cutting out the frame from the Blueprints 27 set.  I didn't know exactly how I was going to use it, so it's cut out of regular card instead of watercolor card.  I decided I'd try out the Oxide Inks on it despite that and I think it came out fine.  I knew I wasn't going to re-work the colors so I figured the regular card would hold up.

Once that was dry, I attached it to a piece of green card, trimmed the panel down, and attached it to my white card base.  I put that under the tile on my

desk.

The sentiment was stamped on green card, using Versamark ink, and embossed with WOW! embossing powder.  I trimmed the sentiment down and adhered that and the toads onto the card using dimensional dots.  Easy card and I love to use leftover parts from other projects {and, as you know from the opening paragraph, I have plenty of leftovers!}  The card actually came together with no issues and I am very fond of those little toads!

I hope you enjoyed my little tutorial and that perhaps you will either stamp, color and cut some extras, or use up some extras you have lying around.  Also, I would like to invite you to my giveaway; you can get all the details here.  Thanks for hopping stopping by! Christi
