Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!  In the spirit of the day, the challenge is to use a cutie patootie image (critter or person) wearing something GREEN (doesn't have to be the main color.)  I chose this darling frog image by Rubbernecker. 

I paper pieced my frog with Garden Green designer paper.  I used pale lavender Copic markers for some light coloring on the daisies.  The centers of the daisies and the frog's eyelids were colored with Twinkling H20s.



If you'd like to play along with us and/or see the designs my friends Frances, Shirley, Tosha, Joanne, and Cindy made, please visit our CCEE Stampers' blog.
