When I saw this adorable image over at Lacy Sunshine I just cracked up. The thought of a hippy frog just tickles me! To top it off, his name is Pickles. I have no idea why I think that's so funny but I do. The name of the image is Groovy Pickles and you can find it in Heather's "Retiring $1 digi" section. Yeah, I said it. A buck. And there are loads of really cute images there. I have no idea how long they will remain available so you may want to go take a look.
The background paper that's kinda' tye die looking was done with a set of My Cute Stamps, Versamark ink, clear embossing powder and distress inks. I love the resist embossing technique. It takes a couple of steps but is really simple. The first time I remember seeing it was in this video. Each time you do it, you get a different result and I enjoy the surprise.
I've used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches for this card. Here's the sketch:
And here's the card:
I twisted the image just a bit....a hippy frog should be twisted. Right? The sentiment is mine. I printed it using Word and I think that's pretty funny too. Yes, I am a dork. I neither deny nor resist it. In fact, I embrace it. The tag the sentiment is on was made using a Recollections tag punch. The little "forever" charm is from the Michaels Dollar Bin. The seam binding was white and I dyed it using
Spiced Marmalade distress ink and a little water.
(Note to self: wear plastic gloves next time. Dork.)
