Pat is our hostess for the Teapot Tuesday challenge which you can find HERE.
Well, I'd been thinking of a flip flap card with a golf bag on it, but after reading the write-up mentioning exercise classes, I knew I wanted to use this. Image stamped on Bristol and coloured with Polychromos. All the feet and beaks have Glossy Accents, Miss Pink has a gold sweatband.
Washi tape on the background DP. I've lost the will to live this afternoon after an hour dealing with a customer service rep who at the end said "your date of birth is wrong on the account, I can't do anything. Sorry, you have to contact...". So, how come my DOB was correct 3 weeks ago when I rang them to update a direct debit mandate which they proceeded to screw up?
Due to total mental exhaustion after all that, my movement factor is limited to a simple flip-up panel: it's scored along the top and secured with eyelets, and a photo-turn at the base to hold it down. Underneath it is a die-cut which says "fabulous" in gold glitter card.

I love your card and is a delightfully fun creation. Sorry for your DOB plight, Sabrina. There was once a screw up with my mom, and they had her listed as deceased! Sheesh!

this is FANTASTIC and IRL, it must be even more adorable. I love glossy accents and I can just imagine what the feet and beaks look like. Very FUN card and amazed you could even get into it after that phone call. ughhh I always dread the customer service calls. Cute detail of washi tape, also. This is going to be really appreciated by someone special!! stay masked, stay well, Teresa

Sabrina, these chickies doing their exercises are the funnest. Ha, that is probably not a word. I am so sorry about this phone call you had. Been there, don't wanna go there again either.
Those are cool eyelets, and the polka dot one at the bottom that holds your panel down is super cute and matches the dots in your washi tape.

Fabulous card Sabrina! I love these exercising chicks and the fun way you colored them. I also love the purple polka dot swing brad that keeps this flap closed. The DP you used reminds me of a spa. So sorry you had that kind of phone call Sabrina- they are SO frustrating indeed. There is little to no customer service anymore, sadly. Hang in there and know your card is fabulous! Hugs! ~Karen.

These old chicks are so fun! I love your use of the photo turn to hold it down. I have a bunch of those to use up, but they are all orange. Love the lift up card portion. It's always fun to see whats under it. I think I need to follow the workout these chicks are doing. Nothing but sitting around is letting the pounds creep up.

Your customer service ordeal sounds like something to drop a dumbbell on the dumb bell on the jerk. Fun card and lovely golden touches for those glam work-out chicks.
