Hoppy the Frog

I love the little details in Hoppy the Frog!  You can emboss him to get the spots on his legs, nostrils & chin.  When I say that Karen Burniston did an excellent job designing him, well that's an understatement!  There's not a lot of fiddly little parts to glue together on this frog - lovin' that.  In Hoppy the Frog set you get the frog, fly, lily & eyes.....so much fun.

To decorate Hoppy's mouth, I cut the frog again in red so I would have the mouth area to simply glue into the open green mouth area.  While I was doing that I thought it would be fun to give him a curly tongue to catch those flies with.  I covered the flies & the sentiment with Crystal Effects. 

To make the sentiment, I used Happy Birthday & Good Luck dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I cut the "A" out of "Happy" & replaced it with the "O" from "Good".  To make the lilly, I cut 3 lilies from green, white & yellow.  Next, I staggered the green & white on top of each other, then I trimmed the yellow lilly to fit on the top.  I cut the dragonfly from black cardstock & Fire Opal Gemstone Shimmer Sheetz.  I made a wobbler by coiling up some thin wire & glued it to the back of the dragonfly so he will move when you touch his body - super fun!



I used the embossing feature in the Accordion Katie Label & kept the die on after embossing & used a Signo White Gel Pen to accentuate the stitching.  The little flourishes in the corners comes with the Accordion Katie Label along with several layering dies for Katie.

Happy Stamping,
Raquel
