I finally tackled the Movers & Shakers: Sliders die, and once I actually had them in my hands (after watching
Nichole's video), it was Easy Peasy. Stamping the card front and THEN diecutting the top part of the slider works much better than cutting and trying to stamp (just saying lol). I used Spring Rain cardstock for the front stamped with Rainy Day Sentiments with Enchanted Evening for the large drops and Aqua Mist for the smaller. The cloud and Sun are only attached in the middle for extra dimension.
When the ribbon is pulled it pops up the top of the focal point and exposes the slider which is stamped with the solid block from Building Blocks with "We'll be friends until we're old and senile. Then we'll be new friends." written on it.
The focal point base is Stamper's Select White and the Scene It: Skyscapes (cloud and sun) are cut out of Fresh Snow Linen cardstock. The clouds are painted with Stormy Sky Distress ink and the Sun is painted with Bright Buttercup and Orange Zest. I scored it right at the point that the sun meets the horizon and attached it to the slider at the bottom fold. I stamped the ribbon pull with a pull here sentiment from Movers & Shakers: Sentiments set and is attached to the slider tab with two tiny attachers colored with Ranger Gold Pigment Alcohol Ink. The sentiment is stamped on vellum Fillable Frames #5 stamped with Stazon. It is attached with a line of Tombow Multi behind the "behind".
For this month's
Create Along With Us Challenge, I was inspired by this card made by
Heather Nichols cards for the Papertrey Ink April 2016 release
The
Mixed Media Monthly Challenge is Dimension, and
Simon Says Let's Do the Polka, so I'm including it there as well.
