 | | Hi everyone, I made this Bon Voyage Card for my daughter who has gone to Japan on a Study Tour as part of her University Course (I think you call it College in the USA). This is her very first trip overseas so I wanted to mark the occasion with something fun - so I thought I would try making my VERY FIRST Interactive Card! The plane slides in the channel and is really cool to play with. Was a steep learning curve for me but I got there in the end :-) The first version, I forgot to add a cardstock circle to the slider element (which holds the plane in the channel) and the plane fell out like it had crash-landed. NOT QUITE what I was hoping for :-O
Because my daughter was going to Japan, I decided to go with a red and white plane to mimic the colours of the Japanese flag. The only Bon Voyage set I have in my stash is by Lawn Fawn and it was perfect for what I needed. It was a very last minute make as we had just been so busy so I thought it was quicker and easier to stamp the plane onto red cardstock and diecut it instead of trying to colour it in. I restamped the plane onto white cardstock and fussy-cut the windows and nose and went around the edges with a Black Sakura Pigma 0.3 Pen to hide any white edges - then glued them on using Tombow Mono Multi glue.
I stamped the clouds using Memento Summer Sky Ink then diecut them and popped them up on a double lot of dimensionals. The blue watercolour wash background is a sheet of designer paper from Lawn Fawn's Watercolor 6" x 6" pad. Made it quick and easy so I didn't have to paint a sky.
To make the interactive part of the card: I used a die from the My Favorite Things Surf and Turf die set and glued on a MFT Slider Element to the back of the plane then diecut a small white cardstock circle using a die that came with the Surf and Turf die set and glued that to the slider element. I used a Powder Tool to go around those two elements to help the plane slide easily in the channel.
I diecut the sentiment using a Spellbinders Shapeabilities Labels Trio die then went around the edge using Versacolor Scarlet ink. The entire panel was popped up on a double lot of Dimensionals to a blue card base so the plane slides easily in its channel.
I added some Sullivans self-adhesive Red Stars to finish off the card.
