Animal Outing Color Challenge

Today's card uses one of my favorite stamp sets from Stampin' Up!'s new catalog - Animal Outing!  It features some adorable animals in a fun, sketched style along with some great sentiments.
This card is for this week's color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches blog.  Wei picked some fun colors this week:
Please join us at the challenge - it is loads of fun and we love seeing what everyone creates!

For my card, I used an aqua painter and the ink to color the image.  I stamped it in the old SU Archival Black ink, but any waterproof black ink will work.  To make the branch less bright I used a combination of orange and green.
I used the Stitched Shapes framelits and a stack of Circles in Melon Mambo to give a little color and depth to the medallion.  For the leaves on the side panel, I used scrap paper as a mask for the left side, then I tapped just one side the same frog/branch stamp in Garden Green randomly along the right side.  I added a thin strip of the green to finish it off.

I hope you enjoyed this card today.  I have a list of some of the supplies with links to my Stampin' Up! website below.  If you order please use Hostess code FK7PAJNW - valid through June 29.  (If you order $150 of products-before tax and shipping-do not use the code so YOU get the hostess benefits.)

  7. I love how you've colored the focal panel to look like a sunset sky behind the frog! I also like the way you coordinated the side panel with the same leafy branch image. Excellent job!
