Time Out Challenge #258 - Photo Inspiration

Happy Leap Year Day !  Time Out has a fun photo to celebrate the day and inspire your card for this challenge.  We are being sponsored by Lawn Fawn and the winner of the challenge will receive a $25 store credit. 

 

Now it's time to think outside the box.  I do have a large frog stamp but I didn't want to use it.  The more I looked at the colors instead of the image the clearer my direction became.  


The frog's round red feet reminded me of this Berried Cotoneaster embossing folder from Altenew.  I used the matching stencil to color the image in a variety of Altenew inks, then added the sentiment from PB.  

What do you see when you look at the photo?   Whether it's the image or the colors, we hope you'll make a card for our gallery.  The Design Team has plenty of inspiration for you on the blog.

I see a toadily wonderful frog - and it brings my mind to a darling die set I bought many years ago! Hope to have a chance to play along!
Your inspiration comes through brilliantly, Bobby! LOve that EF and you have gotten wonderful results using the stencils for inking them up!

This is just fantastic, Bobby, and I clearly see your inspiration here. I have those supplies and haven't used them. Your beautiful work really inspires me to dig them out. Fabulous make and great take on our inspiration.

Thought I left a comment, but it's not here. Anyway, I absolutely love this card, Bobby! Such a great idea to use that wonderful folder for a non-Christmas card. I have it and the stencils, but have never gotten the coloring so perfect!
