I made another birthday card and guess who made her first light up card!?💡 That’s right… ME! 😂
Started by die cutting heavy weight white alcohol marker friendly cardstock using the rectangle infinity die. Stamped the cake slice on it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink then coloured in with Copic Sketch markers. Stamped the sentiments with red dye ink. Inked the bottom of the sentiment stamps in black and re-stamped. I wanted to tone down the bright red a bit.
Copic markers used:
browns - E31/23/25/27/29
reds - R32/35/39
yellows - Y000/11/13/15
shading - C00/1/2/3
The one light from Pear Blossom Press was the light up mechanism. A hole was punched out in the flame and the opening backed with vellum. Aligned the light to shine through the hole when the button is pressed and mounted the front panel on top with 2mm foam adhesives.
Used a white gel pen to add “confetti” (probably should have skipped this step 🤷🏻♀️) and adhered the “PRESS” strip (printed out with my label maker) over the button to finish. Here’s a short video.
