Lily Pond

 
 
 
Hello and welcome.  I'm guest designing this month over at the FarmQuest General Store Challenge where Anything Goes Farm and/or Country. For my card, I went with the country theme and created a card using the Lily Pond Grayscale Coloring Pages from Conjurer of Dreams. 
 
After coloring the image using Castle Arts Watercolor Pencils and a blender pencil, I lightly stippled Tim Holtz mowed lawn distress ink before layering and adding some faux brads and adhering it to a green card.  I then punched two different frogs using scraps before adhering them using Bearly Art glue.   The finishing touches were googlie eyes, stickles, bling and adding some eyes using a 3D glaze pen.  I then added my saying using a long retired Close To My Heart set - inside says "only small things with great love. - Mother Teresa.  I'm really happy with how it turned out.

    Beautiful card, Bonnie Lynn! I love how dimensional it feels. And those little frog eyes are adorable! Perfect sentiment too. Congrats on being a guest designer over at FarmQuest. So fun! And thanks for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday too. We really appreciate you! :)
