Song of Spring Flip

A bit of a late post for me today.  It was the first day in probably a month where I didn't HAVE to do something in the day.  And my sweet husband got the kids ready for school and let me sleep in!  I've got a cold that's getting to me, so the sleep was so welcome.

Holly had a cool technique challenge over at SCS that I've seen by hadn't tried yet, so I played around with it.  It's called a Flip Card and the tutorial by Beate is HERE.  The center panel is loose so it flips around from open to closed.  Very fun.  And not that hard to do, if you follow the directions :)  Next time I'll know what I'm doing better so my cuts will be a little sharper.  I'll show you a progression of photos from closed to open.

I used the SU set Spring Song and colored it with Copic Markers.  The outside flower is carefully cut out and popped up. 

Above is a little more open so you can see the inner panel better.

Here is the inner panel flipped in the open side.  Lots of sponging to warm up the scene. 

Above a closeup of the coloring. Isnt' that hummingbird pretty?

And above what it would look like closed - laying down.  Neat hey?  It makes for such pretty presentation!

Below are the Copics I used.  All from Flourishes.
