Hi everyone and welcome to my blog!  Today I have a special post for you.  Stampers Delights is participating in the Midsummer Mushroom Hunt, hosted by Digi Mojo.  As a part of this event, Janice of Stampers Delights will be offering this beautiful Chibi - Fawn for free on the SD website.   Head on over and check it out.

For today's project I decided on making a simple rocking interactive card that anyone can make.   For this I used my Cricut Machine, but I will list wafer die alternatives for those of you who do not have a Cricut.

Die cut 2 5 1/2" circles out of white cardstock.  The first circle I used distress oxides to make a splotchy blending of colors all across.  I felt that yellows and greens would work with this particular image as it brings nature to mind.  At least in my mind. 

Die cut out the mandala or using the Cricut link cut the geometric circle mandala.  This should be set to 5.355" x ​5.355".  Adhere the mandala to the center of the distressed circle.  This will become the background for our image. 

 Using a boning knife score along the center of the second circle.   Now fold along the score line so that the circle is now in half. Add glue to only half of the circle and adhere that onto the mandala piece. This will now allow you to stand and rock the whole thing back and forth by simply touching it.

Die cut out the sentiment to aprox. 2" wide.  Using double sided foam tape, adhere the sentiment and the Fawn image to the card.  Ensure that the sentiment is at the far bottom and center of the card. 

Finally, add some bronze colored sequins to the mandala around the upper part of the fawn.  This will help that brownish color pull through as well.
