My first card

So here it is...my first official card. I have practiced a few but this is my first finished work. I love the way it turned out. I used SU frogs and flies stamp set and then colored with copics, the water is done with SU pastel chalks and blender pen. I added a lot of machine stitching (something I do a lot of with my scrapbooking) and I love the finished look it gives the card. I did a lot of layers because I love chunky cards with lots of layers. The frogs face and arms are also layered and adhered with pop dots. I wanted to give it a little bit of a vintage look so I used a Tim Holtz ink pad to give the edges a distressed look. So what do you think?









Now I need to plan my next project. Tonight I have to make some Thank You cards for my hubbys clients so nothing terribly interesting. I plan to make them pretty simple but will post pics tomorrow. The cards are already blank thank you notes so I am just going to dress them up a bit.

Oh and I ordered some MFT stamps from a fellow SCSer so I am excited to get those and start playing! Oh and I am still waiting on my cuttlebug to arrive...I am going to have so much fun with it!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
