Top Tip Tuesday has a fantastic challenge this week - moving parts ... basically something on the card has to move, open, pop up etc. I love making interactive and mechanical cards. So today I created this window card for either my mother or Neils' mother for mothers day later on this month.
This is the card with the shutters closed ...
when you open them they reveal a window and you can see through to the inside of the card ...
and inside the card is a room scene ...
so basically the front of the card is the outside of the brick house and the window looks through to inside the house.
To create the primula blooms I die cut the individual flowers and then used applied an embossing tool to the back of each flower so that they curl and bend and then layered them.
I would also like to enter this into the 'anything goes' challenge over at
