Because it's a card that light up - literally.
I have been "playing" with Chibitronics for a while now and had difficulties with the technicalities of this process. Electricity and circuits have never been my strong point.
However after watching the tutorial video on splitcoaststampers here a light literally went on in my brain! I knew exactly what to do, and do it I did. I made 3 cards in a row that "lit up", but this one that I am posting about today is probably my favourite.
The image was stamped twice using a stamp positioner (I wish I had my Stamparatus) so that I would know exactly where to position my lights.
After building the circuit (I should have taken a picture of that but I was so thrilled to have it working I just wanted to finish the card) I coloured the image above with Stampin' blendabilities. The background was stamped with the twinkles from the stamp set using Pool Party ink.
Then with a very fine pair of scissors I cut out the holes in the mushroom where the light would shine through. I tried using an exacto knife as recommended, but either my blade was too dull or my hand not heavy enough but it did not work for me, thus the small scissors.
The butterfly on the top has the letter "P" printed on it. It's from the December Paper Pumpkin kit. This is where your press to activate the lights.
Press the butterfly, and the card lights up. The vellum placed behind the art piece disperses the light and disguises the actual chibi light.
