Don't worry, be hoppy!

 Good morning! Do you have any fun plans for Memorial Day weekend?  We have always celebrated my husband's birthday on this weekend, as his birthday is May 24.  So this year, the party is on his actual birthday. As seems to be the norm for this year, the weather is expected to be crappy so we're only having about 12-15 people over and I'm planning on things like chicken ceasar pasta salad, charcuterie boards, and maybe some ribs & chicken thighs on my stoneware pan from Pampered Chef (OMG if you don't have one of those yet and you like to cook - GET ONE - thank me later).  We will make the best of it no matter what - we always do.  :)

I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Die Cut Divas - Anything Goes/Optional Watercolor Real or Faux

Creative Inspiration #26 - Anything Goes

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - The Great Outdoors

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge - Anything Goes

Art Nudge #525A

 


I created my background by using the ink smooshing technique with a couple different shades of green on a piece of watercolor paper, then spritzing with Gold Mica Spray Stain. I printed the Frog Prince digi from Drawn With Character (now called Drawn by Krista on Etsy), colored with Copics and a gold glitter pen, and fussy cut before attaching with foam dimensional tape.  I used a hexagon die cut and printed out the sentiment with Canva before die cutting with a speech bubble die. Peace.
