Susie is our hostess for Teapot Tuesday this month; you can find her challenge HERE and learn why our cards are going to seven-year old Sam.
Susie suggested tent cards, which gave me the opportunity to try the recent Swinging Tent Card tutorial.
Sam likes race cars and has a beagle. No racing cars here, but surely Snoopy is the world's most famous beagle. And since Woodstock is taking a ride with him, let's assume it's Oliver or one of the scout trip shadowing them in the hot air balloon. That's the swing part - it's on a little acetate strip attached with a brad, so like a pendulum it swings from side to side across the card.
I just lost my entire write-up, so this time I'm not filling all the fields in again in case it vanishes again. Details included here.
I followed the tutorial, using a scalloped circle and broken china distress to sponge the cloudy sky on the background piece, then stamping in the foliage with peeled paint and forest moss distress, using a stamp from the Kittie Kits Garden Master.
The sun and clouds are MFT dies, the clouds are cut from glitter card and the front one has Hello stamped on it. The ray layer of the sun is embossed with D'vine Swirl, and the round layer has a little smiling face drawn on.
The Peanuts images from Stampabilities were stamped on white card, coloured with Polychromos and fussy-cut. I added a black strip to act as a road.

I was really hoping that you would use this stamp for Sam. You know it's my favorite! And what a happy go lucky scene you've created with Woodstock floating up above in his balloon. I love every single bit of this card, Sabrina!

Faving this one, Sabrina. What a delightful card. Sorry your details disappeared on you. So annoying. This is one super card for Sam and I am betting he will be enchanted with this!
