Super Heroes Comic Slimline

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog.  As challenge hostess for the month, I finish off the month with one last challenge.

Super Heroes - Yesterday 28th April was Superhero Day. Include a superhero or two on your card this week. (Interpret Superhero any way you like.

Having a daughter who has always been interested in Super Heroes, I seem to have collected super hero stamps and dies over the years. My latest addition to my collection is Mama Elephants Little Superhero Agenda stamp set, so I decided to use that to create my card today.

Mama Elephant also recently released a Slim Comic Strip die set, which includes the comic strip frame and the speech bubbles that have the different words. So I created a Slimline card using this stamp set. 

I few years ago I purchased Sunny Studio Stamps Heroic Halftones paper pad which works perfectly with the die set and images.

I added the cityscape die from Mama Elephant's Slim Film City die set.

For the inside of the card I created a pop-up card. I used another piece of the paper that I used on the front of the card, which I added to the back panel and about an inch to the edge of the bottom edge of the card.

I used the cityscape die again to add to the back panel.

To create the pop-up portion of the card I used the smaller of the angled platforms to add the 4 little pop ups along the fold of the card. I then added the cute little superheroes.

I added the birthday sentiment to the base of the card using two sentiments from Penny Black's Wet & Wild stamp set.
