A Little Gloss

We have a new challenge on Scrappy Frogs and it is to use some kind of glossy or glassy accent on your project. I decided to use a couple of different glosses on my project. I started with this adorable Tilda image Tilda in Spring Rain. I colored Tilda with copic markers and then started adding the gloss.

I added some Sakura crystal lacquer to her umbrella and boots. This product has color in it already, you can see where I also added it to the rain drops falling down. Then I took my liquid glass and added that to the other elements like the fence, the puddle, and her raincoat. Here is a close up of the gloss on the fence, raincoat, and the puddle.

I also added a little gloss to the paper flowers to look like dew. When it was time to put the card together, I needed a sketch, so I went to Friday Sketchers and followed their sketch.

Another Scrappy Frog Challenge

Ok, I thought this Scrappy Frog's challenge was going to be hard.  The only instruction was to made a project  inspired by the Making Memories Slice.  Well, I don't have one so I couldn't actually use one to make the project.  I thought I would just use the colors of the slice itself.  It's a pretty turquoise color with a little black and green on it.  I can work with that I thought, so I colored one of the new stamps I got from FunkyKits/Sugar Nellies with a few of my turquoise, green, and black copic markers.  I cut it into a square, rounded the corners and dabbed on some distress ink.  Then I remembered that I do have some Making Memories 
ournaling notebooks that I could use to mat the stamped image, but what paper do I have to go with it?  Well, as luck would have it, I had an entire noteworthy kit still unopened (can you believe I bought some paper and hadn't used it yet?) that matched the journaling notebook perfectly, so above is what I came up with.  All the products used except for the stamped images and the inks are from Making Memories.  If you would like to win a slice apron, hop on over to www.scrappyfrogschallenge.blogspot.com and enter your creation.  

Scrappy Frog

This is the card I made for the Scrappy Frog challenge at www.scrappyfrogschallenge.blogspot.com. The challenge was to create a project based around food, recipes, or cooking.

I have had this stamp set laying around from when Ainsleigh had a birthday party at Young Chef's Academy a few year's ago. I thought the big chef's hat and oven mit would look great stamped on patterned paper. If you have never heard of Scrappy Frog that is because it is brand new. Froggy and I just created it. The blog will have bi-weekly challenges of various themes and best of all- prizes! The first prize is a set of rock a blocks from www.stampingscrapping.com. So, make your food/recipe inspired project and head on over to scrappy frog and post it for your chance to win. The only stipulation is that the project must include a stamped image. The chef's hat and oven mit in my card are from Close to My Heart and the bon appetit is from Just Rite. The paper and cardstock is also from Close to My Heart.
