I Can't Wait For Spring!

This week's Penny Black Saturday challenge is to make an easel card.  You can use whatever Penny Black stamps/sentiments you want, any colors you want.

I can't wait for spring!  Probably why the card I made for the challenge has a spring theme to it. :)

Here is my card for the challenge:

The red and beige cardstock is from Bazzil.  The designer paper is from My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary collection, my favorite DP!  I chose Penny Black's Toadily collection and colored the cute frog with the following Copic colors:

Y13, Y17 (flower), G94 (frog) and the colorless blender.

For the background, I sponged on some ink from Memento - Dandelion.  The red background was cut, using my Nestabilities petite oval scallop die-cut.  I used my Martha Stewart punch for the border on the front and inside of the card. 

The sentiment is also from Penny Black, inked with Memento ladybug ink and cut, using my Nestabilities small circle and small scallop circle die-cuts.

The corners were cut using my Cuttlebug die-cut.  The red gems are from my stash. The felt red and yellow flowers were picked up from my local scrapbook store.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
