Cool Pineapple Card with a Homemade Wobbler

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are having a good week. Here’s a fun card I made using the SSS July Kit. Created this one for the TGIF and SSS Monday Challenge. It’s a cute wobbler. On with the design and ingredients.

The card base is Neenah 110# card stock. I stamped the sentiment 4 times in an oval pattern with Versafine Onyx black ink to create a frame for the focal point. I stamped the pineapple using different distress inks by adding the green to the crown and the oranges and yellows to the pineapple base. Then once dried I completed the water coloring with a the distress inks in wild honey, spiced marmalade, dried marigold, crushed olive and old paper. The pineapple is fuzzy cut. I splattered the yellows and orange onto the card front. The sunglasses are stamped the in the same black ink. I covered the glasses in Pico Embellisher for some shine and dimension.

I created my own wobbler spring using some 26 gauge jewelry beading wire by curling around a pen and gluing each end to a piece of card stock then glued it to the pineapple and the card base. Small photo shows the mechanism. This is about 3 turns around the pen which allows for just enough bounce and movement. I haven’t made and interactive card in awhile and thought this design might be fun to add the action to it.
