I adore this card! It was originally created for a fundraiser for St. Jude's Children's Hospital in which card makers worldwide created and donate their handmade creations to the families of the young patients at St. Jude's. The cards were collected with the thought in mind that the families can give them to one another at the hospital or send them to other friends and families, since many of them may not have the time or resources to "just run out and pick up a card" due to their situations.The inspiration for this card came to me on Mother's Day. I had just given my husband a peck and told him what a "prince" of a guy he was. The word prince kindled fond memories of fairy tales I read as a little gir
l and needless to say, the card was born.Frog Prince is a pocket card on a green background with circle prints. The circles have always reminded me of bubbles...green, bubbles, frog swamp! Prince is double sided and embossed with a dot texture, creating a bumpy texture. He was then chalked to add depth and also to smooth out the bumpy texture to make it feel mo
re natural. A bubble-gum pink tongue appears to be catching the handmade 3D dragonfly. No Prince is complete, of course, without a bejeweled gold crown (jeweling is featured on both sides) and googly eyes. The Frog Prince is removable from the fold, but the dragonfly is adhered to the card. The inside of the card is blank for your sentiments. This would be a great invitation for a kid party as the frog is quite sturdy and can be taken out and played with (approximately 3/16" thick and 4 1/2" wide). Card measures 6 1/2" x 5" and includes envelope.
