Jump for Joy

 

This is my card for a swap called the SIS--Surprise Image Swap.   This is card #20 for our group.  It is a bi-monthly swap where we all use the same image, sent to us by the hostess.  The surprise part is that we are to not discuss the image at all until the day they are to be posted--the 18th of every other month.  This sweet image for this round was provided by Jody!  She will swap the cards and include the new image for round #21 that Janet will have stamped in each return envie. Then--we do it all again in June! 

Jody sent us this cute frog image from Penny Black called Jump for Joy.   Jody's word of the year is Joy and she mentioned she uses this image often.  I picked my background patterned paper called Spring is Calling--perfect for this card!  I then colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers.  I die cut the panel with a MFT-My Favorite Things Stitched Tag Corner Rectangle Die.  I put a strip of Black Grosgrain Ribbon behind the image. I used Gina K Master Layouts 2 for the patterned paper and the backer. I added some Trinity Stamps Aquamarine Ripple Gems. This was a fun card to make!

If you check some of the other blogs listed on my sidebars, you may find some other swappers who have posted their creations.  The due date is today, the 18th, or they may post in the upcoming days. You can also check out SCS and use the keyword SIS20 to see some posted there.  I hope everyone in the swap likes my card--and that you do too!
