Making the Background
First, I die-cut a panel with a slimline die. I use this panel to make my sky. I don’t need to ink the whole panel, as there will be a snow panel on top of this panel.
For the sky, I use my chalk ink. I use the following colours:
- Back tulip 78.
- Noble blue 29.
- Blue Berry 78.
- Bright eyes 80.
Now it’s time to make the snow hill. I use a piece of white card stock and decide where I want the snow hill to start. I use a die, which is meant to make waves, but I use it to make my hill. On the edges of my hill, I apply some purple ink. I used the colour Pastel purple (65).
Making the slider part.
On the snow mound panel, I make my sliding part to move the snowmobile.
Based on the picture, I determine where the sliding part should be. Where I think it should not be higher or lower, I draw a line with a pencil. I made the sliding section 1.5 centimetres wide. Both edges of the sliding section are 4,5 centimetres from the edge.
Now it’s time to make the mechanism behind the digital stamp what makes it move. I die-cut 4 small circles out of white card stock. I make two mechanisms on the back of the digital stamp. I put two circles on top of each other with foam tape in between.
You stick the circles behind the digital stamp where you want the slider to stop. For me, that was at the very bottom, so that is stops exactly above the sentiment. For the top, I did the mechanism a bit further down, otherwise the picture was too far above the snow hill.
Assembling the card
I glue my background panel onto my card base. I adhere the snow hill with foam tape on top of my background panel. Pay close attention to where you stick the foam tape, so it doesn’t get in the way of your sliding mechanism.
Behind Santa a place a tree and in the sky a red star. And the card is done.
