I have not had a chance to participate in one of Kristina Werner's colour inspirations for quite some time, but when I saw this challenge on my Google Reader last night I couldn't help myself.
The Shawshank Redemption was on telly here, and I had never seen it before, so I decide to watch it while working on this card. If you look closely at the watercolouring you will see what a large mistake that was. The movie was so good I kept getting sidetracked and stuffing up my colouring :-(
I only applied the Crystal Effects this morning, so it is still wet...and I was worried that it would kind of slide down the card while I was photographing it, but it seems to have stayed in place!
These colours were a lot of fun to work with. Very cheery indeed. I think the Hoppy Birthday frog suited this challenge very well.
Thanks Kristina!
Sam.

Love how the frog is sitting on the lily pad - yes the movie is certainly one to become totally engrossed in
Great card and use of the colours. Your watercolouring looks fine! Shawshank is an AMAZING movie and really one you need to pay attention to so you did a fab job considering! I wish it was on here last night now!!
