Special RAK Event

Hi Peeps here is my revised addition of the card for Lisa's Sister. After following advice from fellow bloggers (Thanks Guys) I just changed the sentiment to something more appropriate.

Here's what lisa has to say about the event:

I am having a special event for my sister Jayme. She is in her early 50's and has terminal lung cancer. To make it worse, her sweet dachshund Molly passed away a couple weeks ago. Today we learned her cancer has spread to several other areas and her time is running out. I am asking for all my card making friends to send her a fun card...not really get well cards obviously, but something pretty or funny that will make her smile. She is a frog collector so frog cards would be awesome!

Lisa you are so inspiring and I think this is a great idea for your sister I hope she enjoys the cards she receives. Please check out Lisa's blog and send some love hugs Toni

LOVE

1/Mo's Challenge-LOVE
2/Simon says Stamp-Pink or Blue with Green & Brown
3/Crazy4Challenges-Sketch

Hi there I Love this image from Mo and I use it on many a card. But here is my dilema
I was making this card as part of Lisa's plea to send her sick sister a card has she has terminal cancer. Brill she loves frogs but I went off on a tangen like you do and realised to late when I put the sentiment on it that maybe this is inappropriate.
Oh what to do? Looks like I will have to go ahead and make another. Good job I used this opportunity to enter it into a few other challenges. So maybe I will post the right card for Lisa when I get it done. Thanks for looking hugs Toni

Hi Peeps where has the lovely weather gone? Oh well back to british weather lol.
Here is my card for the day and I have used another stamp or two which I ahve found unused lol. I decided to mask these stamps and use them both on this card. I love this snail its so cute. I have coloured them with whispers markers I am getting used to using them now so I might move on to promarkers or copics which is best? Please let me know as these will be a considered purchase. I want to make the right choice.My butterflies are another stamp set I haven't used much such a shame as when I use them I like the results I get. I stamped the base with chalk ink and the top outline with staz on. Below will be a list of ingreds I used to make this card.
