Painting the stamped book paper image using watercolours or Distress Inks.

I used these colours if Distress Inks to colour my images....Peeled Paint, Evergreen Bough & Seedless Preserve.

                                       
 Use a wet paint brush to pick up some of the ink directly from the ink pad. Paint it onto the leaf image. The more water used the light the colour will be. Feel free to play with differnt colours and techniques. Watercolours will work just as well.

Double Slider card for the So Natural kit.

Hi |Everyone,

As promised, here is a step by step breakdown of the Double Slider in the So Natural kit.

These are the pieces needed. The double sided tape was not included in the kit.

Once you have used a craft knife to cut the slits on the dotted line, then slip the plastic strip into the one slit and then exit through the other slit.

Fold the edges of the plastic strip in and attach double sided tape to one edge of the strip. Take care that the tape doesn't extend beyond the strip anywhere otherwise it will stick to the slider and stop movement.

Now attach the other side of the strip to the taped side, pulling it securely but taking care not to pull so tight that is bend the card. Now slide the join to the left of the card just before it would pull through the slit.

Now attach a strip of double sided tape vertically to the left edge of the plastic strip. 

Attach the longer narrow piece horizontally to the centre of the block, lining it up with the left edge. It will extend beyond the right edge.

Flip the whole piece over and attach a strip of double sided take vertically to the left edge of the plastic strip. Again take care not to have any tape sticking over the edge.

Now attach the smaller narrow strip to the centre of the whole piece lining it up with the left edge. It should line up with the right edge too.

When pulled your slider should now look like this. Return it to its closed position and make sure that the longer piece is extending on the top side.

Make sure the slider is positioned in the centre of th card. Attach 5 pieces of foam above the slider piece and 5 pieces below the slider piece. This will help to keep the slider moving correctly on your layout.\

Attach the remaining larger block to the foam squares, lining up the edges with the original piece with the slits in.

Flip the card over and attach foam squares as you did before. These squares will attach the hole double slider to the layout, so can keep their paper covers on for the moment.

Fold the pull tab in half vetically and attach it to the extended edge. Your slider will now look like this.....ready to be embellished with paper and photos for the layout.

Enjoy trying this fun interactive piece for your layout.
