You're Unforgettable...

As promised another card using the stamps from the Unfrogettable set.

The base is Mellow Moss cardstock this time stamped with two heart stamps from the Simply Said set using Certainly Celery ink.

The mat is Certainly Celery cardstock stamped with Certainly Celery ink.

I used the following masking technique to make the frog look like he was sitting on the toadstool.
  1. Stamp the frog image on card stock.

  2. Stamp it again on a piece of scrap paper.

  3. Carefully cut around the image on the paper, cutting just inside the lines; this will be your mask.

  4. Place the mask on top of the card stock image.

  5. Stamp the toadstool image over a portion of the masked frog image.

  6. Remove the mask .

The images were coloured in using a blender pen and inkpads (Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip and Real Red). Pieces of ribbon (Real Red, Certainly Celery, Mellow Moss & Old Olive) were used to decorate.
