Judy - Sunset Frog

Designer: Judy Kreucher "jaydekay"
Date Posted: August 17, 2011
Keywords: DOLCE, Local King Rubber Stamps
Category: nature- frogs
Stamps: Local King Rubber Stamps “Friendship” (6)
Ink: Memento black
Embellishments: natural jute twine, buttons
Tools: Spellbinders wonky rectangles, black millennium Zig artist pen, Prisma Color Pencils
Martha Stewart border punch, Sizzix starburst embossing folder, blending stumps
Paper: The Paper Cut Festive Variety Pack Orange Fizz & Sour Apple, black, yellow, dp

I have to admit that I did an online search to see how differently frogs can be colored..
I didn't just want an all green one. So, this is what I came up with.
The leaves have been embossed for texture... what fun.. cause it doesn't really
matter what embossing folder you use.. any texture would look great, then I
crinkled them a bit on the ends.
I use prisma pencils for coloring and blend with an odorless turpentine using
paper stubbies.
I thought the starburst was the perfect hint of Sunset look..
Hope you Check out Dolce Stamps and Cards Store for more great
Local King Stamps, you will love them.
