Light Up My Life



Something I would like to see is fireflies, I have lived in the Southern U.S for a few years now and gone camping several times but have not seen them yet.  This is a fun cads as I used Chibitronics to make the little fireflies light up.  This month at A Blog Named Hero we are collaborating with the Chibitronics to create fun interactive projects for our June theme"interactive".

I stamped the jar and fireflies from Hero Arts on water colour paper then painted a background with purple, blue and black water colors.  I used my heat gun to speed up the drying of the background then painted the fireflies.  Once the stamped piece was dry I die cut it and added little holes with a piercing tool to the bugs where I wanted the chibi lighst to shine the brightest.  I colored the latch on the jar lid with a silver marker and added Nuvo drops to the bugs.  But before I coated the bugs with Nuvo drops I lined the watercolor piece up with the cardstock I layered underneath it and marked the through the holes with a mechanical pencil.  By marking on the cardstock layer it would make it easier for me to place my chibi lights.  I created my circuit and placed foam tape on it to adhere the water coloured piece on top.



I housed the battery in a piece of folded cardstock, the recipient will need to press on the sentiment on the front of the card to complete the circuit and make the card light up.



Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are inspired to join the June challenge at A Blog Named Hero.
