\n<\/a>The Ways to Use It Challenge (WT572<\/a>) today is to\u00a0use humor on a card. To me this girly girl frog w\/ all her makeup, umbrella & purse surely stand on the side of humorous. And\u00a0I think my title says it all…the weather we’ve had here the last few days, only a frog could love. Torrential downpours, thunderstorms & howling winds. At least it stopped raining before we washed away..now we’re just gone with the wind, lol.\u00a0<\/span>

\n<\/a>For my frog under the weather card, I did a little variation on the reflection technique. I’ve done this technique quite a few times, but this was the first time I used the Misti to help out & the first time I used an odd shaped area for the reflection. Lydia, the community manager at Splitcoast had a\u00a0card<\/b><\/a>\u00a0& a link to her video<\/a> <\/strong>for doing this &\u00a0it started me thinking. So I gave it a try & I like it. I followed her directions except I had to use the back of a large stamp for the piece of rubber she used. Having the image in the Misti & stamping it more than once onto the rubber really helped the process. Since the reflection is supposed to be lighter than the original, I used gray flannel ink for the reflection\u00a0& black for the original & I used the lighter colors of Copics to color the reflection.<\/span><\/p>\n

But I’m getting ahead of myself. First of all, I used a pair of little scissors to cut the odd shaped puddle in the middle of a piece of copy paper…placed it over the white card stock, & sponged the tumbled glass ink inside the opening…not too evenly. Then I placed the piece I cut out on top of the blue puddle & sponged some of the weathered wood & tumbled glass around for the ground. I made sure to have a straight edge for the horizon. Then I put the original mask w\/ cut out puddle back on & did the reflection part. Removed the mask, positioned the original\u00a0Frog Sunbather<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0image & stamped it above the reflection. Colored it all then stamped some\u00a0raindrops<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/a>after masking the original image and the ground around the puddle. I only used part of the\u00a0greeting\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/a>(I put the full greeting on the inside) &\u00a0I used a Micron pen to add the question mark at the end.\u00a0<\/span>

\nHere are the Copics I used.<\/span>
