Hello! Today I’m participating in the MFT 2019 Card Design Superstar Contest: Innovation Master.
I had this idea to have some monsters peek out from behind some gravestones using a pull tab for action. It’s the perfect card for an Over the Hill Birthday (one foot in the grave). Lol.
So first I set it up to have some of the monsters just peeking out from the gravestones….who’s lurking there?!
I set a pull tab mechanism up on a “pivot system” using small brads. I hid the black strip behind the black “grass” that I made with an older die from MFT called Icicle Border. It think it looks like a spookier grass! Lol.
Poor monster. Sorry I had to cut off your feet.
When you pull on the pull tab, the monsters peek out from behind the gravestones!
I colored one side of the monsters darker, so it looks like the moonlight is lighting up one side…It’s a darker “night time” look for these scary monsters. For the gravestones, I used the Distress Marker Spritzer to give them a more stone-like appearance.
But INSIDE the card has a surprise too!
The pink monster POPS UP at you when you open the card!
It’s a great birthday card for an October birthday, don’t you think?!
Thanks for stopping by today, and wish me luck!
This is amazing, Kari! So happy that you were able to play along! Best of luck! <3
