With this card, I've also tied in another little thing I like to collect, paint chips. If the paint chip is a head-scratcher let me explain. I'm an artist first and foremost and I love the color. I will seek it out anywhere and all the paint chips in a hardware store are like candy to me. I wish I could remember where I learned you could use a white plastic eraser to remove the text on paint chips, but that was a game-changer for me! Now I could use them like any other paper in my card-making.
I started this card with the happy frog face and selected a color palette of pink and green to build the card. I had a few paint chips already die-cut in my stash and this green one happened to match the frog.
I used a cover plate die from Taylored Expressions to cut the pale pink cardstock and then trimmed it with the largest of the stitched rectangles. I mounted the pink panel onto a kraft card base, added the paint chip at a slight angle, and then layered on the frog with a bit of foam tape. I stamped the sentiment onto a label and added it will foam tape as well. To complete the card I added a few pink enamel dots. Turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself.
