Well, I guess if frogs could talk, we'd know, right? LOL. This beautiful creature is done by Deborah Boyet of Blackberry Lane Designs. I am so happy to be on her DT and have the ability to color her images. I like cute cards, but I quite like still life, also. I never knew that there were so many types of tree frogs; until I did research to color this one. This is a red-eyed tree frog from Central America.
I had the hardest time getting the exact color I wanted, but finally I've gotten it to the point that I don't mind saying I colored it. I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I'm entering this in a few challenges that are looking for spring inspired cards. I do have a little floral background paper, and I hope the other bright colors will look a little springish.
