Antique Car Slider Birthday

 

This card was made for my brother's 65th birthday. It is an interactive card where the vintage car moves (slides) from one end to the other.  

As a first step, the base card was created in white card stock. Next, it was layered with red mirror paper. This was then put aside to work on the focal panel.

I used some black and white plaid patterned paper from my stash and adhered it to a panel of white card stock to give this layer support. This would be my focal panel where I needed to create a slot for the movement of the car.  The slot was created using a Lawn Fawn die. Then, using 4 pennies, 2 each were adhered together with a dimensional (pop dot).  The two sets of adhered pennies were then inserted into the slot. (I found this to be the easiest way for me to create the sliding mechanism.)   If interested, here is a link to a slider card video tutorial.

Next, I added dimensional tape to the back of the focal panel in order that there would be room for the car to slide back and forth smoothly, ensuring that there was space for the pennies not to get stuck while sliding. This panel was then adhered to the prepared base card.

The car image was die cut in both red and black mirror paper and paper pieced. A dimensional (pop dot) was placed on top of each of the pennies, they were positioned in the slot, and then the  car was adhered to the pennies.  

The speed limit sign and sentiment were created and computer generated, cut with a paper cutter and/or label die, and then adhered to the card with dimensionals.  The car wheel was an extra one that I die cut to add a little something extra to the panel.

And that's it! I love the way it turned out and I hope my brother enjoys "playing" with it (chuckle).
