DTGD Hoppy Birthday and Flowers

Good morning! Are you ready for some more fabulous Dare to Get Dirty (DTGD) challenges on Splitcoaststampers (SCS)? I hope so. There are prizes involved, and who doesn't love winning a prize? There are five new challenges posted today and one of them is mine. I can't really give you the specifics of my challenge because we're to keep it a secret for the Fan Club members only of SCS. So, if you're a Fan Club member, you can get all the dirty details in the DTGD forum. If you're not a member, you might consider becoming one. Here's a link on how to join the SCS Fan Club.

Here are my two cards I made for my challenge today.

For my first card, I used this fun birthday frog from Rubbernecker Stamps.  I heat embossed the image first with black embossing powder and then water colored it with Ranger Distress Inks.  I then ran the image panel through my Big Shot with an embossing folder.
