This technique was my original Plan A for Cathy's challenge, which got side-tracked when the fun penguins flew in. But as another treat flew in this week, I needed a thank-you card and was able to get back to this technique. Surprise, it's so long since I made one that first of all I started following the wrong tutorial, and then I struggled far more than I should have with following the instructions. But here it is...and you can see the closed card and why I chose these stamps HERE.
I did use black card for the base, but lined it with thin white card so that I could stamp inside. Snoopy stamped, masked, background sponged and spritzed. The blue base looked a bit plain when I was finished, so I stamped the Baroque Motifs swirl all over it, and added a popped-up thank-you sentiment with texture instead of the original one stamped directly on the slider element.
Inside I stamped the sentiment and Woodstock in his ballon, and added a dusting of chalk pastel for some colour in the sky.

The Red Baron strikes again! and certainly does it in style. Love the way you've colored your image. This is a neat interactive card and hopefully this weekend I will have time to check out the tutorial. My grandsons (4 & 6) just love any of my cards that move, have surprise hidden messages etc so I am always looking for something new to make them. Thanks for the inspiration, Sabrina.
