I used SMC's snail (previous Friday Feebie) to make this interactive card. I couldn't find any instructions for making one so I improvised my own. Obviously I had to pick what stamps to use. I chose these daisies stamp that I had gotten in a swap over a year ago to be my background. I colored the centers yellow and blended it out into the petals (you can see it still in the smaller flowers). Then I colored the leaves, green and the background, a purplish blue. I then cut a slit where I wanted the snail to "crawl" (I put a piece of paper where the slit starts and stops to help you see it). Then I had to put a pull tab on the snail. I didn't think I could just stick a tab on and expect it to glide. I figured I had to push the snail up a teeny tiny bit so there wouldn't be any friction. I also thought I had better add something to keep it straight or else it might wiggle all over the place. Here is is all put together. I used pop up adhesive to continue to help with the possible friction issue. I don't know if it really would be a problem, but I didn't want to find out so I erred on the side of caution.

Next, I punched sun/flower punches for the centers of my largest daisies. I punched 10 total. I then took gold Studio G glitter glue and glittered 5 of them. They were now my tops and the other 5 will have plain yellow petals showing from underneath. One was put on the end of the pull tab to decorate it a little bit, and the others were put in the middle of the biggest flowers. Then I attached everything to my card base.
