It’s Wednesday – Let’s Hoedown my friend!! I know I am no longer on the official Hoedown team, but sometimes a girl just has to play along!! This week’s challenge is to USE 3 OR MORE DESIGNER PAPERS. For my card I used “Frog Prince”. HOW CUTE IS HE!!
When I was growing up complaining about what poo-poo heads boys could be, my mom loved to remind me that in order to find my prince, I would need to Kiss a lot of frogs! I haven’t found him yet, but frogs are pretty plentiful (haha!)…. So KISS ME!
For this fun card, I used a white PTI card base, and Purple (unsure of brand) to back everything. I used paper from the DCWV girls pack and my Spellbinders circle and scalloped circle dies. Then I colored my froggie with Copics (Frog – YG03, YG63, YG67, Cheeks – R20, R22, Robe – C1, BV11, BV13, BV17, Crown – Y21, Y26, Y28).
For fun, I also played with some past Splitcoast Stampers’ challenges one was TLC436 called Twisted Traditions(make a holiday card using another holiday’s colors) – I went for a “Valentines” card in Mardi gras colors.. though I think it could be for anytime not just Valentine’s. What do you think? The second challenge was a fun little Sketch Challenge SC375.
I am also going to enter this card into the following challenges:
- Can You Digi It – CYDI #41: Holiday Hullabaloo (As stated above – V-day)
- Loves Rubber Stamps – #64 Anything Goes
- Through The Craft Room Door –Always Anything Goes
- Challenges 4 Everybody – Challenge #26: Always Anything Goes
Come on over to the Hoedown and go check out what the Bacon Bits have done!!

Hey Lyn, your Mum is sooooo right, boy have I kissed a few frogs before I found my prince…. and even he turns back into a grumpy old toad now and then!!!!! hee hee only joking. Your froggy looks positively regal in his princely attire and royal colors, your coloring is beautiful. I entered the hoedown EVERY week when I wasn’t on the official team…..or else nobody would have seen my cards if I just put them on my blog, I think I have ONE follower….poor me. Anyway I hope you do the hoedown every week too, I look forward to seeing your creations, also I want to thank you for your kind comments on my cards, you cheer me up no end. 🙂
