Today I’m back with another pending project for Up & Scrap. Back in January, I decided to participate in all of their challenges, even after the deadline. I made this fun Birthday card in green tones for their Monochromatic September Challenge.
I used stamps from two My Favorite Things sets; “You’re Rawr-some” and “Birthday Bears”. I also used some of the dies from the sets “Wild greenery” and an old die called “Fresh cut grass” to make the vegetation.
Now let’s have a look at the interactive element. I suppose you’ve already guessed where it is…
Jajaja, el T-rex está tan emocionado por su cumple, que no ha podido evitar comerse uno de los regalos…
Hahaha, the T-rex is so excited over his birthday, that he swallowed one of the presents…
A pesar de ser un mecanismo muy sencillo, me dio muchos quebraderos de cabeza… quería solucionar el movimiento de otra manera más elegante, con un disco oculto detrás del panel, pero al final opté por una tira de acetato sujeta al banner con el sentimiento.
Even though the mechanism is really simple, it gave me a headache… I wanted to come up with a more elegant solution, using a hidden rotating disk, but opted for attaching an acetate strip to the sentiment.
Añadí un par de enamels verdes a la tarjeta, sobre todo para disimular el brad de la cara del dinosaurio, unos toques con bolígrafo de gel en blanco y negro y listo.
I added a couple of green enamel dots to the card (to try to hide the green brad in the dinosaur’s face), a couple of dots with a white and a black gel pen and that’s it.
I hope you liked it… I was dying to give it a pop of another colour, but I’m quite happy with the result. See you soon!
