Hello and Happy 1st Monday of March! I hope you are starting to see signs of Spring where you are. If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, I hope you're winter weather hasn't arrived yet.
Today begins a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog. The challenges always have an inspirational prompt for you to interpret into your design. The inspiration photo this month is:
There are so many ways to interpret this photo, I went with a St. Patrick's Day theme as I get the vibe of a Parade with lots of fun visuals and sounds. I've used the now defunct Bugaboo Stamps St. Patrick's Day Frog for my card.
I've colored this Cheeky Frog using Prismacolor Pencils. The patterned papers are from a St. Patrick's Day digital paper pack that I purchased on Etsy approximately 5 years ago, and I've used only scrap on this card. Because it's a digital paper pack, I'll always have these "papers" to use.
I've die cut the focal image using a nested stitched circle die from Cheery Lynn (purchased from Amazon). I've popped the circle focal on foam pads, as well as the banner. Lastly, I've added green faux gems for added interest.
The team and I hope you'll pop over to the challenge and play along this month. There is a lovely prize from Pretty Pink Posh (not a sponsored prize) and everyone is eligible for the prize, no matter of your location, as long as rules for the challenge are followed.
That's all for now. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
