My inspiration for this card came from a picture of a teddy bear that I have on my refrigerator door--I especially liked the cute sentiment on the bear's apron. That sentiment inspired me to make this swing (flip flop) card with my new Tilda Goes Shopping stamp. This is what's on the flip side of Tilda when the card is opened...
"my sentiments exactly!" lol
...what inspired me (don't remember where I got this, think this was a page from a desk calendar years ago). 
If you're interested in making a flip flop card, you can find the tutorial/video here at Splitcoast Stampers.

Shirley!
What a really cute card and such a funny sentiment! So true!
I really like the Tilda, her outfit looks like someting from the late '60s or early '70's like she could be heading for the Sunhine Crater festival in Diamond Head. I went as a little kid with my older sister. Gotta get this stamp. But I'm not sure I could color her as good as you did!
Really love your card, TFS!
