Dinosaur Slider card

Card base is standard 4 1/4 x 5 3/4
Topper is 4 x 5 5/8

Use distress inks tumbled glass and shabby shutters and blending tool to ink the topper as shown

Next take a circle die and cut a circle from the top part of the topper

Take the next circle die that is a little smaller than the one you just used and cut another circle from the circle you just cut (this will create a small gap which becomes your slider track)


Next I took my stamp set and stamped all of my images and coloured them.  I used this stamp set

I coloured the images with the following copic markers: C3, C5, C7, E37, E71, E79, G82, G94, R59, V09, Y17, and Y06

I always stamp a few extra images as I don't really know at this point what my final project will look like :)

Next, I mucked about with the placement of the elements for a little while until I was happy with how they all looked on the page then stuck them down and stamped my sentiment into the centre circle

When you are happy with how the front of your card looks, turn it over and stick down your dimensional dots as shown.  It's important to know at this point what you are going to use as the "slider".  I usually use a button, but you can also use a coin or other small circle part.  
You can see from the photos that I place the parts face down and then place the button (slider) in the approximate right position before sticking down the dimensionals.  This is so that it will slide reasonably freely


Some might say that is a bit of overkill on the dots but I like things to stay stuck down and also you don't want your button to slip through and get stuck.  If you have dimentional tape, it is a lot smoother because there are no "bumps" to slide past but the dots work fine

Next I inked up the card to match the topper because some bits of it are visible underneath and I wanted it to blend in


Stick the topper down and then lay your button (or coin) into the hole and place the cut out circle in there as well making sure that the gap is fairly consistent all the way round



I usually use a pair of tweezers or something just to make sure that the button actually does move fairly freely before I stick the other bit on top of the button.  

Then, take your final piece (the sliding embelishment) and use a dimentional dot on the button and place that piece onto it.


and Voila!
