I have to admit, this So Hoppy Together Stamp Set has been a lot cuter than I would have thought when I first saw it in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure!  Frogs, okay.  But once I started stamping with it myself and seeing lots of fun samples online, I quickly came to love it! You can even use it to make a valentine like this So Hoppy Together Frog Valentine Card.

My first idea was for the frog to be holding a very big heart, but then I saw that his hands (feet?) were pretty far apart and the tip of the heart was going to come down over his face!  So I found this small heart that seemed like the right size for one hand!  I always enjoy coloring these frogs with the Stampin’ Blends markers!  If you don’t have any yet, you might want to order a few and try them out.  I find it so relaxing to color with these markers!

And then I felt like some watercoloring was in order!  Since I had used Shimmery White Cardstock, I was able to do a little watercoloring on the paper.  Regular Whisper White might not hold up as well to the water.  We do sell Watercolor Paper, which is the best, but Shimmery White works well, too.  I used my Aqua Painter to pick up just a little bit of ink from the lids of ink pads and just swiped across the card front.  Then I stamped the greeting over the watercoloring (when it was dry).  The greeting is from the Meant To Be Stamp Set.

I couldn’t resist adding a few little Gold Foil hearts die cut from the hearts die in the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies.  I love that die with the group of hearts!  You can use all the little hearts of various sizes that come out of the die cut…..OR you can use the piece with the hearts out of it.  Either way is great.
