You are so toadally awesome!

Good Morning!

Thanks for stopping by today! I got to play a little more with the NEW stamp set: You're Sublime. Such super cute images in this set! I showed you this one here– which I thought turned out cute, but now I'm not sure which one I think is cuter! 😉 

I started this card with a base of Cucumber Crush, then I added a layer of Whisper White. On top of that, I added a layer of Soft Sky, which I embossed with the Chevron Textured Embossing Folder and then I rubbed the Soft Sky ink pad over the embossing to highlight the 'ripples'. 

Then, on a piece of Shimmery White cardstock, I stamped the frog with Tuxedo Black ink and once that was dry I 'watercolored' it with a Cucumber Crush Stampin' Write marker, an Aqua Painter and alcohol. (I rub the marker on an acrylic block and use the Aqua Painter to pick up some alcohol & then some of the marker from the block and start coloring. I explain this technique a bit here) I used the marker directly on the frog's spots to make them darker. I then cut out the frog and added some round Epoxy Accent Stickers to his eyes.

For the lily pad, I used the NEW Cotton Paper Assortment! I cut an oval shape from the Cucumber Crush cotton paper, cut a little snippet out with some scissors and then crumpled it. 

For the lily pad flower, I actually decided to use the NEW Medium Star punch to cut out three stars from the Crushed Curry cotton paper, I crumpled each piece and then used glue dots to layer them to make the flower. I added a Pearl to the center to finish it off.
