I started last night when this challenge was posted and worked for 2 hours til I finally figured out what I was doing. VERY cool challenge ... When you open the card, the 'curtains' open to reveal ... in my case, a sentiment.
Because I was concentrating more on the actual working components, my card may seem a little 'light', but I'm happy I have a working finished product ... Jan did a fun tutorial ... My suggestion - don't glue anything down the first run through.
On front and center scallop I stamped from the Upsy Daisy in Cameo Coral. I also used Ruby Red, Apricol appeal for accent colors. I'm officially down to my last 1/4 sheet of Cameo Coral - wah!
As you open up card, the center panel is Ruby with some GinaK images stamped - I was going for a subtle feel - may be too subtle. As you open the curtains, My sentiment stamped in cameo on white peeks through - I stamped on white and snuck it behind before I put the curtain panels in.
Like I said, very cool card - but was definitely a challenge never having done this ... I'm off to try another version a little more jazzed up, maybe.
Thanks for looking - and being patient through my ramblings.

Brilliant title - that made me laugh.
I am still trying to work out how your two tabs that slide open are apricot and yet that central image is on white. How did you manage that? Love the touch of Stickles - all this pretty card needs to give it that extra pizzazz.

I so agree about the "not gluing" part. I had to move my "curtain" pieces after I glued them down (too close to the fold). I'm impressed, not only with your very pretty card, but also that you got both pictures on one photo!
