FarmQuest Frogs, Toads, or Mushrooms

      What a fun and silly card I have for you today.  A new challenge is starting over at FarmQuest, where we always have a general "Farm Country" theme with a more specific theme for each challenge.  This fortnight the specific theme is Frogs, Toads, or Mushrooms.  I didn't find anything with mushrooms but I did find this crazy image with both a frog and a toad.  Of course, these two country boys are out riding their "steed" and wearing their cowboy hats so that takes care of the country part of it.   They are really enjoying the first, bright, spring day, too, after a long hard winter!  lol

     I printed the image in grayscale and colored it in spring greens using my ProMarkers.  I cut it with a QuicKutz, square die.  The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die.  The background is made up of scraps of burlap and paper (K & Co), both of which have a country feel to them.  I used my bow maker to tie the polkadot bowtie on the toad.

I worked with the sketch from the Outlawz Sketch challenge,
but I took a couple of liberties. Still, the basics are there.

     Challenges:
As You Like It (Critters because they are cuter)
Inspiration Station (all the green)

     I'll have another Easter post later but for now, I hope to see you playing along in our challenge.  Grab your silly froggy stamps (or toads or mushrooms) and give us a project with a lovely country feel.  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
