I happened on this awesome tutorial that a crafter made to show off the "mistake" she made on a swing card. Turns out she topped the sing card design with her own! See below for the link.
So, the challenge at the
Hambo Hoedown asks for DIMENSION in a project, using
"Alien Spaceship" digi image, or any other
Hambo image. If you don't have one already, you can check out the freebies
HERE.
I used Alien Spaceship, because I decided to make a "Congratulations on your Driver's License" card for my daughter, who will be getting hers very soon (I didn't say too soon, I said very soon). I fell in love with the spinning swing card and knew it would make the perfect venue for this image. I colored the spaceship with Copics: BG10, 72; RV34; Y17; C1; N3 & 100 (black). I colored two, so that when the image spins, you can see it on both sides. I used some black elastic string to hanG my image, although clear beading string would have worked better. I cut the card using a template for the swing card, but cut the inside portion completely out, so that the image would spin freely. I used Paper Trey Hawaiian Shores cardstock for the base, and a piece of DCWV Star Swirl Gold patterned paper for the background. A few embellishments later and I have a card that will not showcase properly without making a video of it. So if you see the video here, then I am better at the technical stuff than I thought. If it's a photo, then you'll just have to follow the link to see the original card by the creator of this fantastic 3D art. I just may have to try to publish both to satisfy my pride!
Meanwhile, fly to the
Hoedown and check out the new challenge. Every player wins a free digi image for the next challenge, and you're going to love their images!!
