Black, white and a splash of green are the colors for this week's
Play Date Cafe Challenge #166 and I found a very interesting sketch from
Sweet Stop Sketches #195 to combine with this challenge. I used Close to My Heart
Topiary CS as my green. The frog is from a retired CTMH set called "Frogs". He was stamped in
Topiary ink and then he received a coating of my favorite embellishment,
Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel, all over his body except for the 3 brown spots which were
Bronze Glitz Glitter Gel. He also has tiny wiggle eyes which were applied with
Mini-Glue Dots. The patterned black and white papers are from CTMH Black Background & Texture Paper (retired). The leaves extending from the bottom left and top right of the circle were cut with the
Artiste cartridge (pg. 32 accent 3 shift cut at 1") from holographic green paper (source unknown). The frog was raised up from the black circle with
3D Foam Tape. I like how the frog and the leaves sparkle in the light.
Here is the sketch from the Sweet Stop :
