Jumpin' Jehosephats Frog Birthday

I first cut the frogs out using chipboard to add dimension and then cut the same frogs out in green cardstock. To add color depth, I sponged over the green paper in three different shades of green paint (Making Memories Scrapbook colors in Evergreen, Meadow and Honeydew) and then used Making Memories Scraphbook Pearl Glaze on top to add a nice sheen. Cheeks were made by using a combination of chalk ink, a blush shade of standard chalk and then standard white chalk to soften the color a bit. I also used bright yellow chalk to accent the hands and feet, slapped on some eyes and a green magic marker to trace the mouths. I also used a dark shade of green chalk ink on the outline of the frogs. I'm impatient, so you can see where my chalk ink smeared on the paper a bit. Oh well, that's how crafting goes; nothing is ever really perfect, right? Slapped some eyes and put the frogs on blue bubble paper in an up-and-down motion to make it look like they're jumping and printed Jumpin' Jehosephats on vellum and here you have it!

The inside of the card says, "You're THAT old?!?!?!?!"

Card measures 6 1/2" x 5" (duh!)
