I made this card for a friend of mine. We are starting a business venture together so I wanted to make her something so she knows how much I appreciate her!!
I used SCS 240 for the sketch...
This adorable little frog is Frolle Frog with Flowers from Bildmalarna. The papers are Hopscotch by K&Company. I added a spacer, a SU Brad, a SU Pretties Flower, and Rafia Lace. The border punch is Martha Stewart.
The image is embossed in black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...
I added Diamond Stickles around the edge of the image and on the flowers for some added sparkle.
I carried the layout on the inside as well.
I left it blank so I can write a note to my friend.
It occured to me that I hadn't posted this yet...
The other night, Ansley lost her FIRST tooth!!! She was so excited. This picture was taken a few minutes after it came out. Of course, a few minutes later she started crying. It bled a tiny, so I don't know if that is why she cried...she's very emotional and sensitive.
Of course, the toothfairy came!!
She was VERY generous since it was Ansley's first tooth and she had to wait so long to loose one (Ansley was the only one in her class last year who hadn't lost a tooth).
Of course, Ansley wanted Princess in the picture! Even first thing in the morning, Princess is practically attached to Ansley's hip!!
It's time to run...got things to do!!
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Oh I adore your card Lacey ;-) Your colouring is beautiful and I love the little touch of pink to frolle's tummy. I love how you added sparkles framing the image. Oh Ansley looks so happy and they are the cutest pictures. Her and and her little pup are both princesses. Big Hugs, Nikki x

Sweet card Lacey! And the froggie is so cute! But not cuter than your baby girl!
I love the blush of pink on the frog's tummy and cheeks.

Aww, congrats to Ansley! We haven't lost any teeth here yet, but boy you set the standards high! I thought the toothfairy only gave $1...I'd better hope my son doesn't see this, lol! She is seriously adorable and so is Princess!
Now that frog will be joining me soon I hope! I went over to Nikki's to get some Popcorn Bears and had to have a few of these frogs too! Your coloring is fabulous! This is super cute!
