You're TOAD-ally awesome!


Mornin' hens!  I made this little card for my new Son in Law!  Honestly, I couldn't have got a better one if I had taken applications and hand picked one myself!  Yup, he's just that GREAT!  Soooo, why not tell him so, right?  Everybody likes a pat on the back!  I saw this little stamp and decided to make a play on the word TOAD-ally, and since it's a boy, I thought it would be perfect!  I stamped the image onto some Strathmore watercolor paper and watercolored it with some distress markers.  My new favorite coloring method.  Next, I cut the image out with my rectangle Nestabilities and sponged some chalk ink around the edges before removing the die.  I have a video on this HERE.  Using my SU embossing folder, I embossed this frame on a separate piece of SU Kraft and popped it up with a few dimensionals.  Then I adhered the image panel to some matching DP using my Perfect Layers tool.  To finish, I added some Glossy Accents to the toad's eyes, and then tied on some twine with a button on top!  That's it for me today.  I hope you hens have a FABULOUS Friday and a WONDERFUL weekend and I'll see ya back in the hen house real soon!  {{{hen hugs}}}
