They are sooooo cute!They come in different sizes and are just so busy. They celebrate birthdays, have tea parties, watch TV, paint, go fishing, play basketball, play golf, play bingo, and more! I made this card from the cube stamps set.
- Stamped image on watercolor paper.
- With a light green marker, put color down on the edge. Pulled the color into the image with a waterbrush. Repeated this all around the image. Went back in a few spots with dark a green marker to
give some contrast.
- Colored his eyes with white gel pen and then made a small black eyeball with a permanent pen. The watercolor paper is off white.
- Cut out the image and two smaller bubbles separately, and ran through my little sticker machine
- Squeezed out Crystal Lacquer on each bubble.
- With a light gray marker, colored the frog only on the image and stamped on the circle die cut. This gave me a light image for placement and to draw around. I drew a lily pad and water ripples. Added color with markers and waterbrush.
- Colored words on image with black marker and stamped above the light image of Burt's head. I
colored a little too much and created a le boo boo - an extra black mark. At this moment, I knew where that extra bubble would go. :o)
- Placed Burt on lily pad and Anthony next to him. Found a couple dragon flies that matched the colors. I thread a piece of embroidery floss through each one and adhered them with mini dots.
