Hello, my crafty friends! I have another simple card for you using the Build A Valentine stamp set!
The card base is 4 by 4 inches. There are lots of cute frogs on various cartridges, but this toad was cut at 3 inches from the Mini Monsters cartridge.
I used glossy accents on his eyes, mouth and spots.
The little dragon fly was cut at 1 inch from the Create a Critter cartridge. I cut the wings (cut 2) from blue velum and I covered the wings with a blue glitter glue. This makes the vellum wings curl, but they flatten a bit as they dry. I also used Glossy accents on the dragon fly's body. Click HERE to see video showing how I made the dragon fly to use on a different card.
I tied some Caribbean Bakers Twine around the card just for fun.
Remember to leave a comment on each post this week for a chance to win the Mega Valentine pack!
Have a great day!
Your frog is adorable. I love the touches of glossy accents. The use of vellum for the dragonfly's wings is such a good idea. I have yet to try cutting vellum with my Cricut. Great work.
