It's not easy being green........**Twinkle**

It is time once again for Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday challenge and today Madelynn's little brother Nicky is the "Temporary Twinkie"!

Nicky likes frogs so today's challenge is to incorporate a frog into your card! If you don't have a frog stamp, which is entirely possible ;), then any other type of reptile will do!! Feel free to play along and leave the magic keyword MTTSC20!!




I just so happened to have a frog stamp and it's none other than Kermit the Frog!! My sketch is from CPS113 sketch this week, a perfect layout for Kermit!

I love this stamp but I only used a bit of it because the actual stamp also has frog feet all over it!! so I cut out the part I wanted and paper pieced it all over the place, his eyes, his little neck frill, his arms, his tongue and his mouth and
then popped it up onto Papertrey Ink's 2008 Bitty Bot Basics Patterned paper which was cut out with the Spellbinders Labels Four die....whew....hand crampage....

I tore the K & Company paper across the width as per the CPS sketch, but it is kind of hard to tell. I guess I have the ribbon covering it...dang it! I wonder why I never notice those things until I get it up on the blog??.....



Thanks for coming around today and I am out the door to take Holly to Math Class......lots of fun and sometimes a bit of drama....


Supplies:
Stamps: Kermit the Frog by Inkadinkado, Verve Stamps
Paper: Papertrey Ink Sweet Blush and Kraft cardstock, K & Company Wild Raspberry specialty paper
Accessories: Papertrey Ink Spring Moss ribbon, Spellbinders Labels Four die, Cuttlebug Leafy Branch embossing folder, Autumn Leaves button, twine, foam tape (Taylored Expressions)
