Have an unfrogrettable day!

Another fun make with Funky Fossil's Rainy Day bundle, this time Mr Frog has come out to splash in the puddles, he's left his wellies behind but really doesn't mind getting his feet wet!


This is an interactive swing reveal card, the tag swings from side to side to reveal the sentiments and more of the background.  I followed Jennifer McGuire's video for it's construction as the magazine article I first saw this in I just couldn't get my head around the instructions!


Had a play with lots of techniques - stencilling and monoprinting with distress inks, outlining and tangling designs onto some of the wellies, stamping onto patterned paper then paper piecing, die cutting, colouring with promarkers.

The tag doesn't swing as freely as I would have liked, think I need another layer behind the background panel.  Now see if you can spot where I stamped some rain drops on upside down ... ooops!  I also would have added googly eyes on Mr Frog but I could only find larger eyes, none of the tiny ones, they are hiding somewhere in my stash.

I've used - 6x6" white card blank
Bockingford hot pressed watercolour paper
Funky Fossil Rainy day Critters stamp set
Funky Fossil mixed media Kaleidescope designer paper pad
Funky Fossil Rain or Shine die set
Funky Fossil Bootiful & Make a Splash stencils
Distress Inks - tumbled glass, crushed olive, carved pumpkin
Promarkers; black fine liner pen
