These online card classes are so inspiring! On day 2 we learned about Interactive cards. I loved all the samples, but the one by Kelly Marie Alvarez (of Lawn Fawn) was so cute! She made a card with 2 birds holding a star, and when you pulled the tag on the card, they put the star on the top of the Christmas tree. Sorry, that may be difficult to understand! Since this is my very FIRST interactive pull-tab card, I decided to go a bit simpler.
I made a background using Distress Inks, then I put sparkle embossing powder over the entire background and heat set it. I love the texture it adds! Then I added the sentiment, and heat set it in black. When you add embossing powder OVER another layer of embossing powder, it kind of melts into the first layer! Whoa.
In hindsight, I think I might have embossed that sentiment first and then added the distress ink. I will have to try it that way next time!
The tab on the side pulls out and the dove “flies” the branch over the top of the card. So cool. This card took me a LONG time to make, probably because I’ve never constructed anything like this before. But I think it was so worth it!
It’s not perfect, but it’s so interesting!
Gorgeous card, love the background and the interactive dove is really neat! 🙂
