Swing Image

 Art Impressions is having a new challenge called "Don't Fence Me In".  This challenge only requires you to have a fence in your project.  So I decided to make an interactive birthday card for my bestest friend.  I used several Art Impressions stamp sets and dies for this card starting with the Fairy Spinner.  This lady cracks me up with her birthday hat and fairy wings.  I also used images from the Holiday Mansion Birthday set and the Birthday Buggy set along with the fence die set.  


I stamped all of the images on cryogen white cardstock and colored with my copic markers.  They all fit so well together to make an adorable scene.  The spinner lady comes with the die to cut her out as well as her backside (although I only used the front of her).  I placed her on a piece of acetate and cut a hole in the top of the acetate so she could swing on a foam dot.  To make her swing freely, I popped the big cloud on foam tape and cut a hole at the top.  I matched the hole in the acetate piece over the cloud hole and put the double stacked foam dot in the center of the hole.  Then, I placed foam tape on the back of the blue balloon piece (being careful not to block the swing mechanism) and placed it over the cloud.  The fairy swings from side to side.  

This style of card has been my go-to lately cuz it is so easy and makes such a cute interactive card.

Hope you enjoy!
