Hope Your Day is Glitch-Free!

 Hi everyone, Ashley here and I'm so excited to be back on the Butterfly Reflections, Ink blog to share a card with you!


I made this interactive reveal wheel card to send to my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. Since we don't see them in person as much these days, we have been relying on Zoom to stay in touch, which is represented by this scene. They have a Boston Terrier, who I've placed in the room on the card, and on the computer are me, my husband, my cat Luna and my dog Indiana, saying hello through the screen!



I started by assembling the background and interactive pieces. The background ("wallpaper") was cut out of a piece of Lawn Fawn Into the Woods Remix patterned paper using the Reveal Wheel die and Reveal Wheel Rectangle Add-On, but any patterned (or inked!) paper would work for this. The ground was cut using the same die from some Lawn Fawn Woodgrain cardstock and inked slightly with Distress Oxide ink in Weathered Wood. The wheel for the Reveal Wheel was cut from white cardstock, and the images that are revealed as the wheel is turned were stamped on in black ink, using the template stencil.



Next, images from a few Lawn Fawn stamp sets were stamped using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink: Virtual Friends, Tiny Friends, Critters at the Dog Park, Den Sweet Den, and Christmas Dreams. I coloured in all of the images in with Copic markers and then cut them out. I glued the two tiny people, the tiny cat, and the tiny dog into the third window on the reveal wheel, and then I assembled the whole mechanism together.

Here are a couple more photos that show the images that appear when you turn the wheel:



For a final touch, I stamped the sentiment "miss you" in green ink onto a speech bubble that I cut using a die from Lawn Fawn's Foursquare Backdrop: Landscape die. I also cut a small arrow from Lawn Fawn's Reveal Wheel die set from holographic cardstock and placed that just to the right of the wheel, so the recipient knows to turn it. Finally, the whole panel is backed onto a piece of Lawn Fawn's Perfectly Plaid: Remix patterned paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by! To see more of my cards, head over to my Instagram account or YouTube channel.
