Out Of This World

Hello!  Today I'm excited to be sharing my card today as a member of the Chibitronics Design Team for our collaboration with Lawn Fawn.  

I made this card for my sons Birthday.  Sometimes I struggle making cards for my sons who are getting too old for cute cards but still are preteens.  The Chibitronics were a cool way to make my 8 year old an interactive card.  I created the card front before working on my Chibi lights layout.My first step in card making is to make a rough sketch of my card  to see if  my ideas will work and help me with my card design.  For my background I did the watercolour galaxy technique.  Once dry I used the Lawn Fawn stars die to cut out the stars (Lawn Fawn Dies Starry Skies).  I stamped and watercoloured the planets and rocket ship (Lawn Fawn stamp set Out Of This World) then fussy cut them and adhered them to the background.  For the stars I used a Copic marker to colour a piece of velum yellow then adhered it to the back of the watercolor piece.  Once the front was ready I could put together my light circuit.  I made my circuit on graph paper that is thin so I can place it on top of the card front and see through it to mark where I want to place my lights.

I made a pull tab over the battery, to activate the card and complete the circuit my son needed to pull the black strip of cardstock.  I adhered the circuit to my card front using dimensional foam tape.
