Thanks to Beccy's Place for the image, get it here:  beccysplace frog-hop

I printed the frog 3 times, once with the sentiment placed underneath.  I smooshed two frogs with distress inks, cut them out and layered them.  Then I smooshed D.ink just a little at the bottom over the sentiment, and splashed Perfect Pearls at the top.  Inked edges.  Matted onto p.paper.

Bottom sentiment: unbranded

Also: p.paper, perfect pearls, opal dust, D.Inks, linen thread, Glossy Accents (on eyes), washi tape

Toucan Rocks

 

At 2 Crafty Critter Crazies we always have critters!  Always.  Join us here: 2craftycrittercrazies

Thanks to Sheepski for providing this great image, get it here:  tropical-image-no-239

You toucan rock!  Such a colourful bird, when I looked them up I was amazed that there are so many kinds and colours of toucan.  I layered the image and the sentiment so it stood out from the EF and made some nice shadows.

Let's Eat Cake

 

Nothing like a yummy birthday cake.  I'm sure Ellie will save you a piece.  Well, maybe Ellie is eating a large portion out of the back of the cake - we don't know for sure do we?

I made the background as a direct-to-paper inky concoction.  I framed it with a doodled border filled with black dots and white dots (check it out).  The image is cut out and stuck on with 3D foam.

When Pigs Fly

 

You all  know the saying  'pigs might fly', I'm sure it applies to birthdays too.   The background is made using inks and a gelli plate; then spritzed and splattered. I printed the image onto patterned paper (it looks similar in the photo but is quite different IRL), and cut it out, adding detail and shading with pens & 3D foam.  I like the touch of copper metallic on the washi too.  For my friend who LOVES purple.  

At 2 Crafty Critter Crazies, the challenge is always CRITTERS!
