Yes, I'm back. We had a lovely six weeks river cruising in Europe. Crafting withdrawl is now over! We had northern summer temperatures of +30 most days (whew) and up to 42 deg; now reality bites with the southern winter (around 10 deg C).
Miss Froggy and her itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini - says summer to me. It looks like she chose a tropical holiday... let's go there!
I wanted a CAS style so the embossed background is ink sponged just on the edges to show up texture, then a smooshed splash of water added for her lilypad to float on. She is coloured and fussy cut, with added gold dots as frogs are usually adorned with.

Very fun card. You did well with the temperatures and perhaps didn’t visit the UK which has been very cold until recently, something to do with a weather front just below us keeping the warm air down! Thank you for joining in the fun at Papercraft Challenges. X
