This is a very old stamp from "Alotastamps", I tried to find this company but apparently it closed its doors a while ago.
Anyway, I just thought this frog chilling in this Martini glass fit the theme perfectly.
Now, I wanted this frog to look good so, I went hunting for a frog image to have some options as to what colors to use and I found THIS image on a Google search so I just went with it.
To color it I use a super old tube of green acrylic paint from like a million years ago, when I took some ceramic classes, the color matches the frog in the picture real well.
I stamped the olive one more time, colored it with SU Old Olive marker, snipped it out and attached it to the panel with a glue dot, it looks like the first olive this frog tossed in the air, missed it's mouth. I used Pumpkin Pie to color the frog's hands and feet.
To make the Martini glass look more realistic, I added some Crystal Effects to it and also to the drops of Vodka this critter is spilling all over the place.
I hope you like this card, please leave me your comments, I always read them and they make me happy. If you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer them. Here is the Muse card that inspired this card.
