Today's ISMAKI challenge is to make a pop-up card. I love pop-ups, and have made them before. One of my favorite, but hard-to-find books is Pop-O-Mania by Barbara Valenta. It's great because it not only tells you how to make pop-ups, but it teaches you using pop-ups, themselves!
For my pop-up, I stamped Inkadinkado's butterfly (2) with Ranger's Perfect Medium, and dusted them with perfect pearls. Unfortunately, the shimmer is not apparent in the photo, but it is wonderfully pearl in real life. I used Tombo brush pens to color-in the spots. The flowers are from Close To My Heart, and the "happy birthday" was written with Ranger's Perfect Medium brush pen, then dusted with Perfect Pearls in forever green.
The image on the left shows the front of the card tied closed, and the image on the right shows the inside of the card when it is opened.
Have a wonderful day, Everyone!
