I used Distress Oxide inks to color the frog and foliage. For my sentiment, I stamped the happy from a birthday sentiment set and then created the "leap day" using an old small wood mount alphabet set I have. I rarely use it because it's so hard to get the letters lined up evenly and straight, but for this I stamped each letter at an angle. Not only did I not have to worry about it being perfect, but the up and down adds to the "leap" theme!
I don't normally use a lot of patterned paper on my cards but this card was a bit dull on a white background. I think the subtle green added a bit of interest and complements the blue paper of the water.
This card is for the sketch challenge this week at CAS Colours & Sketches. I hope you'll join us this week and submit a card!
