I have done this technique before but it's been a long, long time ago.   The frog and sentiment is from the Tree Frogs set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. and stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the shaving cream background.  I stamped the frog again on a piece of brown cardstock that had been stamped using the Plywood set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and cut out the log and paper pieced it on.  The eyes were colored with a red Copic marker.  The background was created with the Darice Brick Wall embossing folder and the Spellbinders die I used is the Reverse Wonky Rectangle.

Here is my card:

 

 



For my card this week I used stamps from the Birds of the Orient set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. and they were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I glued the Washi paper onto a thin piece of cardbstock for stability and then cut and embossed them using Spellbinders Circle dies.  For the background I used one of the Cuttlebug embossing folders called James' Set and sponged  Broken China Distress ink very lightly over the embossing.

This technique was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be and I'll definitely be using it again.  All stamps are from the Harmony Set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. and stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The hummingbird was colored with Copic Markers and even though you can't see it I used the Wink of Stalla clear glitter brush on it.  The background was created with the Cuttlebug Scrollwork embossing folder.  The Spellbinder dies I used were the circle die and the inverted scalloped circle die.
