I luurrve froggies and had a wonderful chance to use a lot of my dies on this card. I made this for our NZ cardswap, the theme is an interactive card with a surprise twist.
I searched for something interactive that was new to me and found a great tutorial by Jennifer McGuire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZESrcpGjEc
This was not my first attempt I must say, but I am pleased with this, my final attempt. The twist is two hidden frogs - see if you can find them.
The background pinprick panel is MFT. Circle dies Spellbinders. PPaper is Papermania (which I have had for years). I diecut all the bits and then started to construct. The top-fold base card is sponged on the front with DI's in a random pattern. I wanted the word to be shiny, so before diecutting I stuck wide clear packing tape onto the card (way easier than painting GAccents on a large area). "Croak" is diecut from an alphabet set. Also: DI's, gold pen, black pen, Opal Dust (sparkle on the waterlily flowers). I also decorated the insert with leftover bits and another hidden frog.Shared on challenges:

I had already written inside, so for the photograph, I put a loose bit of paper over to cover what I had written.

Hahaha, fabulous card, I love the surprise frog, so cute Carol. I do love frogs myself, they make me laugh watching them swim, like a little person doing breast stroke, haha. xx
Hi Carol the card is beautiful with the hidden surprise of the sweet frog. A well constructed card. Thanks for joining The Crafting Challenge Tatiana x DT
