Yes, I'm back. We had a lovely six weeks river cruising in Europe. Crafting withdrawl is now over! We had northern summer temperatures of +30 most days (whew) and up to 42 deg; now reality bites with the southern winter (around 10 deg C).
Miss Froggy and her itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini - says summer to me. It looks like she chose a tropical holiday... let's go there!
I wanted a CAS style so the embossed background is ink sponged just on the edges to show up texture, then a smooshed splash of water added for her lilypad to float on. She is coloured and fussy cut, with added gold dots as frogs are usually adorned with.
