Ribbitttt……

Here’s a chuckle for you this morning with this card!  The weather here has been so crazy.  The biggest roller coaster ride that I’ve been on lately.  Today it’s like 8am and is 45 degrees and climbing.  I guess it’s mother nature’s way of letting you know what’s to come in the future.  So it all made me think of this card I did about a frog.  I kept thinking I wanted an umbrella for him and could never find one that suited me.  So I decided to use flowers as his cover.  Then spent so much time trying to figure out how to show rain dripping off the flowers on to his head, I gave it up and decided I would leave that up to the kind folks in blogger land to solve.  Let me know if you do, I would love to hear from you.

          Here is a quick little quide of punches needed for this frog:

                  
                     This picture shows the pieces put together.
                  
                     
           Don't forget to draw his face, add a little heart and to use a white gel pen on his eyes and heart.  If you don't have all these punches - play around with it - I bet you can come close *smile*
          
I hope you all have a Ribbitttt of a day and that Mother Nature is giving you a break as well….
