Today I am showing you a card I made for the grandson of my husband.
This handsome guy is now 14 years old. He really likes lights and his bedroom is decorated full of light strings so I made him this photo card and it lights up using the switch button at the side. At first he didn't notice it despite of the little arrow at the bottom right but once he found it he was pleasantly surprised. The lights put him in the spotlight.
I used colored fairy lights behind a frame I cut out using some nesting dies. Then I added some acetate behind the frame and I added foam tape as thick as the little battery operated switch was. I taped the strings with regular scotch tape so you would hardly see the strings. I added the photo onto a base card. I then added the light frame to the base card. The sentiment square is from Marianne Design CR1656 Felicitatie Vierkant by Marleen. I printed the wooden background paper from the internet.
I will be adding this to the following challenge:
