The "Famous" Frog Card


Here is The "Famous" Frog Card. It is titled that because I have sold more of these Stamping Bella Ketto Frog stamps in my store than any other stamp since putting this card on my display shelf. My sister-in-law loves frogs and her birthday was coming up. So, I pulled out my scrap paper bin and found the perfect background paper. Then I called my girlfriend, Krista, and asked her if I could borrow her Copic Markers and the frog stamp. I had just come back from taking the Copic Instructor Training course in Toronto and my first shipment of Copics hadn't come in. I had only picked up a handful of them while visiting the Stamping Bella store and of course I didn't have a green one. As for borrowing the frog stamp, it was a new line in the store and I promised myself that I wouldn't touch the first shipment. I would give my customers first dibs on the stamps and I could wait until the next shipment came in. Of course, that promised back fired on me, but fortunately I have enough friends with the same addiction to stamps who are willing to share. This ended up being my first Copic Marker attempt and my first time playing with the new Ketto stamp line and I am very pleased with my end result. I apologize for the glare on my photos from my flash, it is an over cast day here and that was the best lighting that I could find in my house today.
