Otterly Great Birthday Slider Card

Another birthday card from the adorable My Favorite Things Otterly Love You stamp set.  This otter is diving down to retrieve a rock. 

Supplies:

• My Favorite Things Otterly Love You stamp set
• Lawn Fawn Cuts Die Slide On Over
• Lawn Fawn Cuts Die Large Stitched Rectangle
• Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80 lb Cardstock
• 28 Lilac Lane Seaside Holiday sequins
• Tim Holtz Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink
• Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink
• Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink
• My Favorite Things Slider Element Disks
• Copic Markers
• Memento Black Ink 
• Mini Glue Dots
• Foam Tape
•  ScorTape
• Ranger Multi Matte Medium

First, I cut the card front with the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 stitched rectangle.  I cut a second panel the same size to back the slider mechanism.  In the stitched rectangle, I also cut the slider track.  Then I stacked the two panels together and inked them up with my distress oxide inks.  I started with a small amount of the antique linen at the bottom for the sand.  Then I used the salty ocean and the peacock feathers until I liked the blend between the two.  I adhered the rocks at the bottom, I popped the middle one up with some foam tape.

I stamped the otter and the rocks and colored them with my Copic markers (E33, E35 & E37 for the otter and CG01, CG03 & CG 05 for the rocks).  I fussy cut them out and went around the edges with a black pen to give it a finished look.  I put a scrap circle of paper under the slider element disk using mini glue dots.  I put the slider element disk into the track and then put another scrap circle of paper on top of the disk with mini glue dots.  I attached the otter to the top circle. I put foam tape between the two layers to make sure the slider mechanism had plenty of space to move.

I finished it off by adding some of the seashells, stars and sequins from the seaside holiday sequins with the Ranger Multi Matte Medium.
