Red Eyed Tree Frog

My grandson's birthday is coming up shortly and his passion has changed from dinosaurs and pirates to Mario and tree frogs. A fairly radical switch, and it means the stash I've used for his last few birthdays is out of fashion with him. 

So it's a tree frog instead... 

This gorgeous tree frog and his log (yes, I was singing "Five little speckled frogs... " while making this card)  were stamped with stamps that came in a recent Creative Stamping mag and coloured with Promarkers. I used Google to make sure I positioned the colours correctly because you can't get away with inaccuracies where an enthusiastic six year old is concerned, and found that despite the name, the eyes really are more of a reddish orange than a true red. 

The background is embossed Core-dinations card lightly sanded and I've added a stamped sentiment and punched and die cut foliage. As the frog has such an expression of intelligent curiosity on his face, i positioned everything to make it look as if he is reading the sentiment.
