Happy Friday!!! When I read this week's challenge I was so excited because I had just gotten this sentiment stamp from Stamping Bella and knew just the image I'd use to go with it... this is one of my fav's!!! I LOVE frogs!!!! As if an Elzybells isnt cute enough by herself, throw in a frog and now it's perfect!! :) This was one of those humbling cards that knocks your ego down a few pegs. I had this card in my head since I'd first read what the challenge was (a few days ago). I started working on it and decided I didn't like "this" so I changed it, and then I didn't like "that" so I changed it too, then it just wasn't coming together... in the end, this is NOTHING like my original idea (which I don't even remember now), but I think I like it! Jeanne Streiff has a great tutorial on sponging skies and grass, so I thought I'd try it because I was just too tired to get out all of my airbrush stuff. Her tutorial is awesome, I promise...I just failed at it. If anyone has any tips on sponging and what I maybe did wrong I'd love to hear it. In the mean time I'll be setting up my Airbrush stuff tomorrow to fix this poor little girl! 
I have to admit, purple is not one of my fav colors...in fact about the only time I use is if it is a requirement. Well purple is my wonderful friend, Shannon's, favorite color...so of course it was a requirement here, lol! I love this card...I love every purple-y inch of it!!! I may have to rethink this purple issue I have, lol. Anyway, this card is for Shannon. We had a girls' stamping weekend a couple of weekends ago and at the last minute she wasn't able to come, so I wanted to make her a cute little card. I think these papers are just gorgeous, from the Guidelines DP pack from PTI, the ribbon is from PTI also. The brads are Build-A-Brads from Stampin Up!, this is the first time I played with them...I am in love!!! These Elzy's are, of course, colored with copics. BTW, love ya Shanna Banana!!! Here is a pink version of the card (these papers are from the Pink Patterns pack from PTI, I also used Liquid Pearls in the centers of the flowers)... 
Those of you who know me, know that I have a thing for Frogs, so how could I resist this cute Ellzybells stamp? A frog with a crown no less...irresistable (these rank even higher than just frogs in my bok, lol)!!! I colored Miss Elzy and her Frog Prince with copics, using a Spica glitter pen on his crown. The paper is called Meadows Edge by Rubbersoul (available at MFT). The sentiment is from the Starlight Starbright set by Verve Visual; I stamped the background in Versamark then the words in black. Ribbon and cardstock by Stampin' Up!
