Yes, lights! On cards, in shadow boxes, wherever! You've probably seen a couple of shadow boxes I have made.
Today I made a card that lights up.
Using the tree stamp from Winter Woods, I stamped one tree using Mossy Meadow ink on a separate piece of Shimmer White and without reinking the stamp I stamped 2 more trees on a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Shimmer White - the card front. The first tree was die cut , and using a sponge I dabbed Frosty White shimmer paint lightly over the tree as well as on the other two trees. When dry it was added to the card front using dimensionals. Using a 1/8" hand held punch, I punched a hole at the top of the tree and covered it on the back with some vellum and on the front with an acrylic star. This is where the light will shine through.
The sentiment was embossed in gold.
Using square framelits a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of gold foil was made into a frame and then added to the card front.
Behind the card front, in a raised bed lies the battery operated single light operated by a press switch (see "press here" on the card front).
When this switch is pressed, the card lights up and it looks like there's a blizzard happening!
This layer is adhered to a top folding Thick Whisper White card stock base.

How wonderful. Would you be willing to share the name of the light source you used? I can just imagine how amazed someone would be to receive a card that lit up and made a blizzard. Very creative. Thank you for sharing.
