Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Mythical Birthday Card using the Mythical Cthulu Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps! This card was delivered to a little boy whose birthday is today. He loves anything mythical and especially Cthulhu which is a fictional cosmic entity created by writer H. P. Lovecraft.
For my card, I decided that a slimline slider card would be so cool with Cthulhu rising from the watery depths of the ruined city of R’lyeh (some Cthulhu Mythos for you)! I always create interactive cards for the little boy’s and his brother’s birthdays and get the best reactions from them! His reaction to this card was “Laurie’s cards are always good, but this is the best card ever!”. This just made my day!
I only used four Copic markers to colour Cthulhu. To make the Scary Town Die fit my slimline shape, I cut it in two. I then added some stitched hills to create my multi-level town. Since this was supposed to be at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, I added some sand with Crumb Cake Card Stock and use the embossing folder to give it texture. What better place to stamp the sentiment that came with the stamp set: “Happy Birthday to Cthu!”.
I had debated about using my Distress Inks to create my water background, but I found this DSP that was perfect for my scene. It even had fish!
To make my slider mechanism work, I used a ton of dimensionals, especially the Foam Adhesive Strips by Stampin’ Up! I even created a video with the slider card in action.
