I created this flipping frog card for a swap on
AFTCM!! A fun card - I found a Flip Card Tutorial
here. !! I added texture to the cardstock using an embossing folder and my hammer because once the flip mechanism was cut I was not able to emboss only the edges of the card. The whole thing was too large to pass through my Big Shot!! I added a bit of colour using pigment ink and embossed those areas with clear embossing powder which gives it a bit of a wet look and made it a bit bumpy like a frog - a toad in my case. I laser printed the image (downloaded from
CLKER) and the greeting, watercoloured the toad and layered it onto yellow before I added it to the center of the card which flips when you open it and reveals the greeting. I found this cool TOAD greeting online and thought it would work perfectly with my image!! It still needed a bit of something to I added a yellow ribbon bow to the left hand edge of the card!!
