Magical Fun Folds Challenge 33 using a Pivot Pop Up

 I have joined the Lawn Fawnatics fun folds challenge. There are so many folds that can bring a different look to your card. For my fun fold I used Lawn Fawn's "pivot pop up die".

  The pivot pop up die is so cool! The front of your card looks normal and once it is opened there is a "wow" factor. Its almost like a paper magic trick. I wanted my card to be as magical as the pivot pop up. I once again choose a unicorn theme. 

I added the bayou backdrop to the front of my card to make a dream-like scene. I colored all of my scene pieces with distress ink, concentrating more color to the ends of my die cuts. I then added detail with a white gel pen. I used glitter paper to die cut some leaves and I added these to the bayou backdrop. To pretty up the background I added some tonic holiday cheer nuvo glitter to a few of the mountain tops. I colored the Unicorn in with copic markers and I added wink of stella clear glitter and glossy accents to the horn.

Now I will show you the magical inside of the card! Let me forewarn you, it takes some work to put together a pivot pop up. Each side of the card must have the same amount of bulk for the pop up to pivot properly. You also will need to line up the score line of the mechanism with the score lines of the card. 

I started the background of my card by die cutting the corners with Lawn Fawn's starry skies.  I then used Distress oxides and inks, concentrating the darker color towards the corners. The distress inks will blend so much better if you also use an oxide ink. After everything was blended nicely I splattered a little bit of water over my blue sky to give it a starry look.  I also added a gold paper by Tonic behind the sky. It looks like the stars are shining on through the night sky. I added some purple clouds for a more dreamy look. I had also used oxides and inks to color the clouds in.

I had colored all of my stamped images with copic markers. To carry out the scene I used the same gold paper for the stitched stars and the tree trunks. The sentiment "Make a wish" was heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I used the same plaid paper by Lawn Fawn for the tree tops and for the stitched scalloped frame at the bottom of the card. I brushed the ends of the tree tops with the same purple oxide ink that the clouds were inked with. I added a final sentiment at the bottom of the card  "Have a magical day", I stamped this sentiment with black versafine ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.

That about sums up this card, please leave any comments or questions below. Until next time, Have a Magical Day!
