Happy Wednesday everyone!
Today my card share is a card my stamping buddies made last Saturday afternoon at a workshop. My idea for this card came from Stamp With Amy K. She lists the cardstock sizes on her blog and I shall list my variations below. Enjoy:

| Close-up of Mr. Lake - notice the heart and although you can't see it, I colored froggie first with aqua painter and Emerald Envy Ink and then, after he was dry, I went over him with Clear Wink of Stella to give him a bit of sparkle! |
Thank you for stopping by and spending some stamping time with me. Have a wonderful day!
The Stampin' Up products I used are listed below:
If you wish to recreate this card, here are some tips:
Cut Cardstock:
Emeral Envy card base cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; Mat cut 5" x 3 3/4";
Strip for banner cut 5 1/4" x 1 1/4" and it will shorten when you punch out the flag end using the Banner Triple Punch - save the small punched piece for your card embellishment!)
Very Vanilla cardstock: two (2) pieces cut 4 7/8" (one for stamping on card front and one for inside of card; and one piece cut 5" x 3/4" for your banner piece (again, save the small punched out piece for your card embellishment!); and one scrap piece to stamp froggie and punch out with 2" circle punch
Scrap piece of Flirty Flamingo punched with 2" circle punch
Stamp:
Frog using Basic Archival Black then, when ink is dry, color him in using aqua painter and Emerald Envy Ink. Then, once that is dry, use the clear Wink of Stella to color all over froggie to give him sparkle.
Stamp background using the Gorgeous Grunge Background stamp set (the bubbles) and your Sahara Sand ink pad. (Ink up stamp, stamp lightly onto scrap paper and then stamp onto your cardstock. This gives you a lighter shade making the bubbles more subtle.)
Also, ink up your other two Very Vanilla pieces with the bubble stamp (for inside card and banner piece)
Ink up your greeting using markers - use the brush side of the marker and gently ink each word with the side of your brush. (I used Emerald Envy and Flirty Flamingo).
Assemble card front by glueing stamped Very Vanilla piece to your Emerald Envy Mat piece
Then, glue on your Emerald Green Banner and the Very Vanilla stamped banner pieces on top.
Line up your small punched pieces from your banner as shown in picture above (you will end up trimming a bit of the Very Vanilla as it will be a bit longer than the Emerald Envy piece. You want to line this piece up with the top edge of the Very Vanilla card front
Next glue your Flirty Flamingo punched circle to the backside of your stamped and punched froggie :)
Attach Metallic Enamel heart (or as some gals did, a star) onto your froggie and a small Metallic Enamel circle (or circles if you prefer) onto the accent piece as shown in pictures above.
Attach your assembled froggie onto card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
