What Up?

I totally fell in love with the Animal Talk set the minute I saw it. So cute, so original, so different! And available in French - score!!!

The main image was created by inking the frog image using markers and stamping it on Whisper White cardstock. It felt a little bare, so I got the idea of adding a frame made of Iridescent Ice powder.

 

TIP: To create the embossed frame, I rolled a clear block around in Versamark, Rock 'n Roll style, and stamped it over my image, then pourred Iridescent Ice embossing powder on the Versamark. A quick and easy way to frame an image!

 

I added an embossed frame over it using the Designer Frames embossing folders. Then, I placed a green glimmer brad in the center of a vintage faceted designer button (told you I love 'em!) and added it to the corner of my frame. Four rhinestones in each corner finish the main panel.

The background was created with two embossed panels: I embossed the Argyle background on a piece of Melon Mambo DSP from the Brights pack and the Chevron on a piece of Perfect Plum cardstock and if you look closely, you'll see I added piercing in between each zigzag. Those two panels were matted with white cardstock and I added a piece of Lucky Limeade baker's thread at the bottom.

To stamp the card base, I pulled out one of our most versatile sets, Confetti. I thought the fun dots would match the whimsical frog nicely, so I stamped those tone on tone over my background. Since I was using Melon Mambo on my project, I thought it would be a great occasion to pull out the matching embossing powder to emboss my sentiment on a tag die-cut using the Lots of Tags die set.
