Hi Friends! Caly here! The current challenge theme is Create A Scene and I think it’s a fun one that many will love.  This challenge runs through May 2^nd, 2021 at 11:59PM ET so be sure to link up your projects!  I hope my card today inspires you.  I love interactive cards and had fun creating this Toadally Awesome card!

I began by stamping and coloring my Toadally Awesome images with Copic markers.
Pinks:  RV21, RV23, RV29, R20
Greens:  [G12, G14, G09], [YG05, YG09, G09]
Blues:  B000, B02
Browns:  E31, E34, E37

After coloring and die-cutting my images, I worked on my scene first by creating my background.  I used the Scene Builder Stencils: Bayou to ink-blend, first the vine with Noble Fir Ink, then the leaves with Jalapeno ink.  Then to add more color, I ink-blended a layer of Merman ink over the bayou canopy.

I needed to create a pond piece that would cover the interactive mechanism, so I die-cut a piece of Moonstone cardstock using a stipple die from the Palm Tree Border die.  I then ink-blended it to add some depth using Fish Tank ink.

If you haven’t seen the Intro to Swish ‘n Pop video, be sure to check it out!  It’s a great video showing you how to use the interactive Swish ‘n Pop Pull-Tab dies! After putting together my mechanism, I put my pond panel over it to cover it up.

I filled my scene with all the colored images and made it so that one of the frogs jumps from the log into the pond.  I hope it makes you smile as much as it makes me smile!  I had so much fun creating this scene!

Don’t forget to link up your projects to the current Challenge Post!  Thanks so much for visiting today! ~Caly
