When I saw this image (sent to me by a friend who wanted a birthday card made), my mind immediately jumped to my childhood and I could hear my dad saying, "Well, aren't you looking frog-dandy!" It was one of his expressions which I never really understood but it always made be think of a frog all dressed up in his finest duds.
When it was given to me, the image was very pastel, almost grayscale, and I knew I wanted it to be brighter. I used ProMarkers and colored pencils to bring up the colors and I also used my photo editing software to enhance the coloring. I cut the image with a QuicKutz rectangle die and used a Fiskars corner punch on it. I pulled out the scrap basket and pulled out various dp scraps which I thought would work with this image. I played a bit layering them in different ways and finally settled on what you see here. I used the corner punch again on the scrap that frames the image. The sentiment was done with a computer font and cut with scissors.
