Christy‘s Toadally Awesome birthday card is a total delight! She incorporated the colors of the inspiration photo in the Simple Stripes: Landscape background!

Gorgeous alcohol inking creates the perfect backdrop for Caly‘s Christmas Fishes design!

Joyce brightened up the inspiration colors for her whimsical underwater scene! She used Slimline Tropical Leaves Border to create a fun environment for the mermaid, Duh-nuh shark and Ahoy Matey treasure chest!

Karin was inspired to create an amazing birthday card! She layered a gold metallic Giant Happy Birthday greeting over an alcohol inked background; the gold flecks bring it together! She finished the card with some happy toucans!

Samantha inked up a charming underwater scene for the little critters from I Like You (a lotl)! She added cool details to the water using Bubbles Stencil!

Caly’s Toadally Awesome Interactive Scene!

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 2nd, 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
