3. Cut out a white piece of card stock 2 1/2 x 4 and stamp on the frog (Pink and Main Rain Frogs)
4. Color the frog with copics: RV10, 13, 17 - YR000, 02, 07 - YG03, 63, 67, 99 - BG10, 11, 32 - Y11, 15, 17 - E15
5. Stamp on the rain drops then glue to lime green card stock. Add the ribbon then glue to the front of the card
