Wiper Card

In anyone else having problems adding photos to their blog posts?  I wrote this post last night, but when I tried to add the challenge images today, the following error message kept popping up.
"Sorry! An unexpected error occurred while processing your selection.  Please try again later."
Edited to add: Blogger seems to have solved the problem of adding photos to a blog post.

A 'new to me' fold today after watching a video showing how to make it.  It called a Wiper Card and I decided to make it with a nautical theme.  For anyone on Facebook, if you join the Nifty Noodles Crafting page you’ll find the video I followed.

The patterned paper is from Trimcraft 'Sail Away' paper pad. I made a scene using the following dies:
Joanna Sheen 'Lighthouse'
Poppystamps 'Marine Sailboat' for the waves
Memory Box 'Puffy Clouds' and 'Stitched Circle Layers"
 
The rock is hand cut and coloured with grey Promarkers.  The birds and sentiment are stamped.

This photo shows the fold.

When the sides are gently pulled apart, a die cut yacht pops up, made with a  Poppystamps 'Marine Sailboats' die.

Here is a video showing how the card works. 

I am joining in the following challenges:

  11. I've not done a post with photos for a few days Liz but the thought of that sort of issue fills me with dread as I have a bumper winners post to do this afternoon.

    Love the idea of your kinetic card, something really different.
