Cute as Bug...

So Hoppy for you...

Another challenge, another card.....  This time a Colour Challenge....

My first instinct was to go for "Inspired by Nature" Stamp Set & of course, seeing the frog there, I had to include that too, which is where "Hoppy for You" comes into it!  A great Stamp Set for kids!

I also included the Technique "Sponged Clouds"

G'day Stampers,

 Well I have managed to return to post the card I finished to match the box posted earlier.

 This time I tempeted a "Hinged Card".  I have never made one of these.  Seen heaps of them, so took it on board & did my version of it.  I do know there are instructions out there in Blog Land, but I wanted to show the edge around the top, so put my head down & went in blind.
