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!
