I've had a chocolate frog sitting in my pantry for a week or so that I thought I'd slip into a card for my little brother. When I saw the Color Throwdown colours for this week it was meant to be! The combo is Certainly Celery, Garden Green and Baja Breeze. I haven't used Garden Green a lot - but it's a perfect frog colour!
The sketch for this one comes from Taylor. The watercolouring has a lot more depth in real life - but how cute is that wee frog? I really like this combo - Baja Breeze looks so different paired with two greens.
Here's a quick shot of the inside. I used an offcut of the embossed panel and repeated the scallops.
I took a quick shot of my "inspiration pile" before I started my morning project, lots of pearls, ribbon, lace....yummy! I can't wait to show you the finished product - it's very girly and so different from this card!
