I am in love with this cute birthday card!
I thought it would be super fun to make a card featuring cats throwing a party for the fish! lol!
I started by stamping the images from Keep on Swimming, Keep on Swimming Add-on, Meow You Doin', Purrfectly Wicked and Party Animal. I colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Once they were dry, I added some details with a white gel pen and then die cut them out with their coordinating dies.

Next, I moved on to the Double Slider Surprise part of the card! I die cut out the pocket from the new Gleeful Gradients Paper Pad.
I used some 1/4" inch tape to attach it all together. I also used a piece of old plastic packaging for the slider mechanism to work! So fun!

Then, it was time to decorate the card with all of my little critters!
I glued them down directly to the Double Slider, but I did pop up the fish and banner!

I heat embossed the sentiment with white onto some Black Licorice cardstock.

I used the Lots of Stars Background Stencils and some white embossing paste to add texture to the card front. Then I attached the Double Slider with some foam tape and it's ready to go!

Be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog! And if you're in the mood for a tutorial, check out the video!
Enjoy!
