Tractor & Co. Cut & Flip Card

This little tractor set is particularly perfect for those of us in the Midwest! I like it because it has a variety of seasons I can use it for! And, you can either ink it up, or cut it out! This sample I die cut, again thinking maybe for my Senior Center class....nope, too many little pieces for them, but I got along just fine, and it is just so cute! This sample uses Garden Green and Darling Ducking. (You know I live in John Deere country!) It's a classic cut and flip card, that is just perfect for the little tractor, just as it is! Great for guys of all ages!

Measurements:

Garden Green: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, scraps
Painterly Pears DSP (OE): 2 1/2" x 4" (Darling Duckling check)
Regals DSP paper pack: 2 1/2" x 4" (Garden Green print)
Darling Duckling (N): 4" x 5 1/4", scraps
Basic White: 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" (inside)
Basic Black: scraps

Attach this piece to front flap with Dimensionals.
For the inside, attach Darling Duckling layer to inside, then adhere White piece behind top layer, so it is not visible when you close the card.
Finish with scattered Low Profile Sparkle Dots.
Adhere DSP to folded Cloud Cover card base.
Next, take White layer, and stamp "grass" from Prairie Grass stamp set 2x each inking, onto bottom of this piece. I used Garden Green ink.
Create the background on this piece, by burnishing Crumb Cake near the bottom and Cloud Cover on top with Blending Brushes. Adhere to the Pecan Pie layer. Set aside.
Now for the fish. On a scrap of White stamp 2 "curved" fish and 2 "straight" fish in Memento Black ink. Color with Blends in colors listed below. (I call this "messy" coloring as you don't want any straight edges just a lot of color. It kind of looks like c
