Good Morning everyone.
Earlier in the year when i made my first twist n'pop i made up 6 of the mechanisms (see here) so they were ready to go when the inspiration hit - when i received these happy frog stamps i thought they would suit a twist n' pop perfectly. I teamed them up with the gorgeous water theme paper pad from the works.
After attaching the mechanism to the inside of a white cardblank (5x6.5") i decided which papers i wanted to use, cut to size and matted onto navy cardstock and all the panels. I also covered the front of the card and from scraps of that paper i followed the lines in the print to cut little pieces for the bottom of my pop panels for my frogs to sit on.
I stamped out all the stamps many times onto white cardstock and watercoloured with distress inks and cut out. I then got playing with the arrangements until i was happy. I cut some of the petals of the extra waterlily so that it was smaller to fit on the smaller lily pad.
Of course i had to add glossy accents to the frogs eyes and glitter glue hightlights to the damselfly wings
This is just showing the twist and pop as it opens up - very clever the person who first designed it!
and the front of my card, i added glossy accents to the circles on the paper as they reminded me of bubbles and die cut letter for the 'pond life' Looking at the expressions on all these frogs im not sure they are having that much fun in this pond😁 however i had lots of fun creating with themx
