Frank the Frog

Time to be thinking spring and maybe what kind of card could you make for the men in your family. Let me introduce you to Under Construction's own Frank. He looks quite impressive all by himself leaning on a tree. In his mind he could be thinking all kinds of fun things. For this card he is smiling because it is his birthday. Stamp Frank with permanent black ink (Memories Black Stewart Superior) Colour with a variety of greens ,yellows,and a mix of browns for the tree.In this sample Tom Bow markers were used. As an embellishment glossy accents (Ranger) was added to the eyes for a realistic look . Fern pieces punched from an olive green card stock were layered for texture at the bottom of Frank's feet. Cut card stock in a dark green to frame and then mount on Kraft coloured card stock for a natural look.Under Construction's Happy Birthday is stamped with Black Memories (Stewart Superior)and framed with the same dark green card  stock.This will add unity and pull all the elements together. Who needs a birthday card in your world?
