Leap Year Love



Love leap years, and these cute little frogs!  
Entering this in these challenges:  

Here's how I made it.  Watercolored Tim Holtz watercolor paper after masking off the edges and the clouds, with Distress Inks, sprayed and dripped water on it for the splotchy effect - is that a word?  Trimmed top panel and cut black mat and adhered it all to the white cardbase.  The die cut words are from Tim Holtz set, (I stacked black and textured green patterned paper to get some height on the sentiment and then added little black polka dots to the words for interest.  The raindrop bling and the frogs are from the Dollar Store.  I don' have any frog stamps but I did buy these stickers some time ago, thinking they would be cute for one of my grandkids either to play with or to make them a card..............................................
I love to look through my stash to see what I have.

Happy Leap Year!
