Take a Leap at Sweet Stampin' Challenge

This year is a leap year so today our challenge at Sweet Stampin' is "Take A Leap"


This is a very open theme...(interpret it how you want - use kangaroos, frogs, leaping in puddles, proposals of marriage, something that only happens every 4 years....you get the idea!)


So how did I interpret this theme?

 Yes... I chose to use a frog jumping out of the lake....

I used a stamp, stencil and die set that came with a magazine a couple of years ago.... I used the stencil with some blue inks to make a background, added some reeds and lightly sponged the lake.  Used some blue card to cut out splash and sponged some darker ink around the edges.  I did the same with the little splashes.  I stamped the frog onto some green cards and used some green markers to add some shading.  I stamped the sentiment onto white card and fussy cut it out

I thought my little grandson would love this card so I've sent it off to him. 

Over at Daring Cardmakers the challenge is also "Take a Flying Leap" so I'm entering this there.


I'm also entering this into the Anything Goes at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.
