If you saw my card for yesterday's CAS pool party challenge, you can imagine my giddiness for today's Teapot Tickle! Denise is our hostess and she has asked us to celebrate National Water Park Day with our cards. OMG! I get to use my MFT Perfect Pool Water stencil two days in a row? I just love it so much. I also was excited to use my new Newton's Nook Floaty Goat stamp. Doesn't he look so relaxed floating down the lazy river? And speaking of lazy rivers, who knows I was singing it the entire time I made this card.
So, first I masked a winding river shape for the water that would be about the same shape as my slider die and I stenciled the water (swoon). Then I used the other part of the paper to mask off the water and stenciled in a brick patio around the river. I also used the brick stencil to draw in bricks along the water's edge and colored them with Copics. I finished with some die cut leaves to give a tropical ambiance to my water park and covered them with Stickles because Stickles is always a good idea. I'm not getting frustrated about my goat not sliding smoothly right now. I got mad at my last slider for not sliding well, but by the following day when the glue was really dry, it was sliding just fine. Just in case, I did use an embossing buddy all over this card to help it slide.

What a perfect card, and I, too, love your water stencil. Your goat does look very relaxed. He needs a lemonade or something. I have to try that slider technique. I just love how this turned out.

Oh Wow! This card is a delightful work of crafting. So many details that bring it to life, but of course the star of the card is that adorable goat and sentiment. And that it's a slider card is just icing on the cake. I agree with Polly...we are all going to be needing that stencil soon. LOL. Super fun card.

I love your fun cards and your stories behind them. I love that it's interactive cards and the scene you created around your floating goat is perfect! I clicked on the link to the song and that was the cherry on top. I had never heard the song, but now it might be in my head for awhile! Boy those Osmonds have a lot of pep. Lol.

Love the pun and your interactive card! This scene take me to the roaring rapids at one of the California theme parks - it's been so many years since I've been out there that I don't remember which one... but it was always a favorite ride of mine.
