Rainbow Lady's challenge this week 'In my Garden I See' gives me the chance to show you this gorgeous frog stamp that I got from my visit to the Stamp Addicts shop last year. At this time of year we are lucky enough to be surrounded by frogs and toads all coming to visit our fish pond. Each year there seem to be more and more - I guess the ones who manage to survive each year come back to their hatching place. While they are spawning we have to watch where we walk and at night time have to take a torch so as not to stomp any. When the young leave the pond they are like flies hopping all round the house. I love it.
The image is coloured with Promarkers and the background with chalks. The text stamp is by Serendipity.
Thanks very much for visiting.

This is great Beryl. What a smashing image and you've coloured him beautifully. I love frogs and toads too, as long as they don't jump out at me unexpectedly like the toad that had hibernated in our garage did last year. I nearly had a heart attack, Lol!

He's a lovely frog, Beryl. It always amazes me that out of so much frogspawn not many frogs appear in relation, although it sounds like you get plenty. We have a few hopping around the garden, although we have no pond. There is a buried stream and I think they must live there.

And a gorgeous frog it is.xxx
Beryl, he is such a cutie. We haven't got any livestock in our garden - apart from hubby doing DIY today outside and two builders re-doing our fence!!! If you visit Stamp Addicts again you'll have to let me know as I'm only about 10-15 minutes away!!! Take care, Kym xxx
Hi There to you Beryl,
what a great card, love the frog, and bamboo dp. Lots of frogs here, even spawning on the pavements, hope we don't find another Mr froggie, from the award. I still have him he's ppeking out of the dolls house at me now!

Beryl, This little guy must be a PRINCE. You've done an amazing coloring job on him and I love the soft background. For me it is harder to do a "less is more" card and keep them simple. It takes much more design skill and you've done wonderfully! Glad you are home.
Hugs, Martha
