Color and cut out the rocking horse. I decided to use one of Nina's "Lovely Labels" as the base to frame it. You will need 2 pennies and two 1/4" pop dots, just as you do with a spinner card to create the tilting mechanism. Adhere a pop dot on the back of the horse in the center, then a penny. and a pen. Take a craft knife and cut a hole slightly taller and 1/8-1/4" wider than the pop dot in the the middle of the label. Put the second pop dot on the back of the penny, then put the pop dot through the hole and adhere the second penny to the back. Your horse is ready to rock! Pop the label up with more pop dots onto your card base ( more Lavender and Pure Luxury White, embossed with Swiss Dot to give the penny room to move back and forth behind the mat. That's it!
There she goes!! I made mine dappled with Copics to match the cut polka dots in the label image.
This interactive card will create such excitement and whimsy for the recipient celebrating their new arrival. Try a tilt card today! :) Enjoyed this tutorial? Please feel free to share it with others by linking it on your blog, I appreciate it!
