Hi, just a quick share today on one card alternative using the February 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit.  I was SO delayed due to my Macbook Pro acting up with the video editing software. I was worried my MB was not going to make it but finally got the software to render the video without crashing and restarting.  Whew!  It was quite frustrating to say the least.

This card was easy peasy to make. I used Old Olive card stock and Old Olive when I stamped all over the panel. The frog from the kit is super cute and I also used the flower stamp to fill in some of the spaces.  The centre piece is vellum and measures 3×4.25″.   I coloured in 3 frogs using SU Old Olive alcohol markers and added highlights on the frogs tummy using the blender pen. It could use some pearls or gems but I decided to omit them this time.

Did you notice the frog eyes? I did my best to remove the ink in the eye area to redraw them to look straight ahead instead up. Afterwards, it might have been fun to have coloured the entire eye area to make them into sunglasses. Give it a try!

The label with the sentiment is from the kit and stamped in Old Olive as well but the frogs were stamped using my favourite black ink which is Black Versa Fine, oh and the clean up the whites of the eyes, I used a white gelly roll pen which has been in my stash forever!

Okay, thats it for now. I’m going to try to complete a card or two alternative cards using the Mar kit. Check out my video on how I made todays alternate card. If you are interested in checking out the unboxing, I have linked it HERE.

Thanks for stopping by.
