Sangria Slider Card Instructions

Remember this card? Time sure did get away from me. Here are the instructions for the Sangria Slider Card I posted here. Writing the steps out proved to be a little more difficult than I imagined. I wrote them, re-wrote them, and tweaked them a little more. I'm sure they are far from perfect, but you should be able to recreate the card by following the steps outlined. Don't hesitate to ask for clarification if you need it.
