This week the Tea Potters are sending some cheer and good wishes to our own CJ Nalley who is presently in a brace healing a broken vertebra -- OUCH!!!! Our hostess this week, Jennifrann, challenged us to use an element that moves so I pulled out my trusty slider die.
I was debating between a pretty card with butterflies that CJ loves and humor. As I was trolling my digis I ran into Bull and humor won. I love this die because you can add something fun and/or unexpected on the inside. So I started with a farm scene which is where I thought Bull might live. Luckily I already had one merged and only needed to eliminate one digi and resize The most difficult part of this card was getting the images aligned to fit properly in the die cuts. It did take more than one try but not too bad. The sentiments on the front and inside were computer generated using Sign Painter font. BULL came with the digi stamp.
I hope Bull's unexpected appearance at CJ's home will make her smile. And I hope your day is filled with unexpected and happy surprises too. TFL.

This is so clever and fun! You did a fab job on getting the sizing just right. And the bull and cow images are amazing..leave it to Mo. She'll love this.

I love your sweet farm scene, Debbie and yes, that inside slider bull is hilarious! This looks like a huge pile of work and that is no bull, lol, but you worked it wonderfully!

Astounding look and is so cleverly done! The sky stenciling is perfection!
The colors and the way you extended the BG around the is so darn unique. Your coloring/shading is phenomenal...

I discovered SCS looking for a waterfall card tutorial when struggling with the one on a magazine, and then I think this was the next interactive card I tried and my pre-gallery archive contains a lot of them. Always a fun style for including a message that carries through from the front. A wonderful farm scene, she to bring a smile.

Debbie, this is just soooo fun! What great images, and I love the slider pop-up die (hmm, I might have to put that on my Christmas list!) Hugs!
