Let me start by wishing all the Moms out there a very Happy Mother's Day!
We all know that dental checkups are very important but how many teeth do frogs actually have? This is my second week as a Guest Designer on the CAS challenge at The Outlawz and the theme is "Use a Frog" in your design. I had so much fun with this one, using one of my favorite images from House Mouse to make a fun, CAS, masculine card.
The image is colored with pencils and gamsol, then cut with a die from Spellbinders. I layered that onto a scrap of green CS which I had run through my "Linen" embossing folder before adding the image. I added those to a piece of brown CS, embossed with my Swiss Dots folder. The embossing adds lots of great texture without being 'fussy.' I added only the printed sentiment (another scrap saved from the dust bin) rather than any embellishments, leaving it very CAS, as I mentioned before.

Well, I'm finally making decisions about some summer travel plans this year and may be MIA for quite a bit of it, especially in June and July. I'll post as often as I can but there will be days and weeks when I'm just not around the internet. For all of those times, I'll just be thinking of all of you and wishing you Happy Stamping. :-D NanaConnie

I started with the sketch from Sketch Saturday
but, by the time I had added my sentiment,
I decided not to embellish the corners
because cleaner seemed more masculine.
