Monochromatic Interactive card

So here is a monochromatic CAS card which has an interactive element to it.

Got the lattice impression using MS scoreboard and made rolled flowers using Faber castell's scallop scissor. Bee was hand drawn on a circle cut out. To make it interactive, I took inspiration from Connie Stewart and turned my BEE circle a YO-YO spinner :)






To view the card in action, you might want to have a look at the video below :)

Action Cards

Kinetic Card


Action cards and pop up cards are my favorites. I just love adding some life to my cards.
So here is my Kinetic card which I loved making from scratch till end. This action card is an inspiration from a blog of a very talented crafter Tejal Mehta Shah. 
I first painted my starry night background with watercolor. To add a romantic touch, painted a bright full moon and a tree full of hearts. Since I didnt have any cutting machine, I quickly grabbed my x-acto knife and cut a silhouette couple. 


 My card is now ready to assemble. It all seemed beautiful but something was missing though. And they were stars.. though the background did had tiny splatters of white watercolor paint as the stars but the bling was mising. Thats when I decided to put rhinestones as stars on my card. And look at it now, it looks so perfect!!! 




My romantic moon needed to flaunt its luminance and so at night I place a small LeD tea light candle behind my card and look for yourself how beautiful it looks with that too. 

To see the Kinetic card in action, here is the video



Hope you all like it!!!

Sorry for the poor picture and video quality, it has all been clicked from my phone. It hasnt done enough justice to the sparkle those rhinestones give to my card :(  

love,
