For today's TLC, which you can find HERE. I hope you'll check it out and maybe try one of the simpler suggestions at least. It's enormous fun.
Dina's great tutorial is linked in the first post of the challenge.
I used green Polychromos pencils for the floor and to colour Mr. Toad, and sponged the back of the stage with Tumbled Glass.
For my curtains, I used Elizabeth Crafts Speech Bubble dies for the sides, and a Spellbinders scalloped border for the top, embossing the die into it to look like folds. The gold tassels on the tie-backs are from Spellbinders Banner Basics (set 2, I think), and are cut from gold glitter card. There is some foam tape adding dimension to the curtain draped along the top, and in the end I matted the card onto a black base.

this card gave me such a chuckle. there is a Warner Bros. cartoon of a Michigan J. Frog. It's DH's favorite character, and oh so funny. A friend gave him a mug with it, and it's very much like your image. When he comes home later, I'll show it to him, and he will really laugh too. YOur card is FABulous, mf. Favd of course!

I have that stamp! He is so perfect for a stage! I am always so impressed with your creative thinking-like how you made the curtains. That an artist at work.

Reminds me of the "Frog & Toad" books I used to read my kiddos when young....some 35 to 40 years ago! He is such a fabulously colored little creature and stands perfectly in your wonderful spotlight technique. Love the stage curtains, as well, Sabrina!
(I've missed peeking at your creations while AWOL, again!
