Today's card is a super fun one; it's a wiper card! This was my first time making an interactive card like this. I've been seeing them all over the place, and I thought that this would be the perfect way to showcase the Super Speed car stamp (which you'll see in a little bit). I combined it with the Space Scape background stamp and the Live Life sentiment stamp for a super cool, out-of-this-world card!
I started by stamping the background in a waterproof black ink on Strathmore Bristol Smooth card stock. I colored it in with my Arteza Real Brush Pens and kept the coloring bright but pretty simple. The real star of this card is the wiper action when you pull the sides. I added some small "Pull" tabs on the sides of the card just to help the recipient figure out how to work it. This "Pull" stamp comes from the Push Here stamp set by Lawn Fawn - a super handy stamp set to have if you make a lot of interactive cards.
Take a look at my video below to see the card in action!
For the sentiment, I stamped it with Versamark ink then heat embossed it in Ranger Super Fine Black embossing powder on a small piece of vellum. I chose to do this because I wasn't sure that the black embossed sentiment would stand out enough on its own, but I didn't want to completely cover up the background. Vellum was the perfect solution!
I'll write a little note on the back of the card, where I mounted a piece of Neenah Solar White card stock. I think I'll turn this into a birthday card for my nephew who's turning 6 next month. He'll get a real kick out of it!
