Challenge Me Monday # 49 - Shaped Card

Hello here is a card I made for my father-in-law for his birthday.  It matches up with Challenge Me Monday over at Fantabulous Cricut.  The challenge was to make a shaped card, anything but a square or rectangle. This card is also compliant with The Paper Variety - Lets See Your Green Blog Hop.

Recipe:
  • This cute little frog is from The Cricut Lite Playtime Cartridge cut @ 5.5" using scraps from who knows when. It was my first time using this cartridge and I am quite pleased.  I turned the black base layer into a card using the mirror and weld features on my Gypsy.  
  • I inked the frog with a stippling foam brush using brown and green ink and inked the edges of the lily pad straight from the green ink pad.  
Inside the card it says "Hope your Birthday is TOADily awesome".  Cheesy I know but still cute.  This is the first non-A2 size card I have made.  Sheesh am I going crazy,  that's two projects in a row way out of my comfort zone.

    What a great card! I love that the frog/toad is on a lily pad. I haven't seen any cuts from this cartridge yet. Great job with the inking too - and I like the sentiment!
    Thanks so much for joining us at FCCB this week!
