Frog Card call... ribbitt ribbitt!

Hello, today's card was made for a very special cause.  I am a new follower of a blog called Pollycraft, which is also an online shop selling digital images for cardmaking.  Well when I hopped over there yesterday, there was a free digital image of this cute little frog on offer.  The story behind it was about a lady, Lisa (a fellow cardmaker) whose sister, Jayme, has terminal cancer.  She was asking people to send a funny frog card to her sister to bring a smile to her face.  Well with a free image to hand I couldn't pass up that request now could I!  I searched the web for frog jokes and came up with one that made me laugh anyway!

I used the current Get Sketchy Challenge sketch.  I think it also fits the current Cards Blog call for punny cards (well maybe!), not sure if jokes count as puns really....! Now I picked orange for the t-shirt as it goes so well with the green, but it also works with this week's challenge from The Pink Elephant to use orange as the focal point of the card.

Without further ado here is the card.


I inserted the image into Microsoft Publisher then added the scene around it.  The muddy puddle across the road is brown dimensional paint.

Here is a slightly closer look.


And then inside it says:

After making this one and sending it, I also spotted these digital images from Tiddly Inks.  This would be cool too, I might make another one!!

Have a wonderful day and just remember how precious each day is and never take your health for granted.
