Feeling Fall ~ Make it Move with Power Poppy

Happy Friday y'all!!!  Are you ready for the weekend?  I know I am looking forward to it!  I'm also excited to share today's Power Poppy project with ya!  Since it's the first Friday of a new month, there is a new Power and Spark Challenge hosted by are own, dear Ally.  She has challenged us to make it move.  Well, I took on that challenge, and it was exactly that...A CHALLENGE!!  I decided I wanted to make a double slider with a shaker main body.  Okay...that was a bit ambitious.  First of all, I've never even made a slider, let alone a double one.  And then add a shaker on the front?  YIKES!!  This baby took some time.  And, I have to admit...it doesn't slide perfectly.  I took the instructions a bit too far.  They warned not to make the plastic band inside too tight...so...of course, I made it too loose.  DOH!!!  But I'm happy with the look of it...even if it doesn't function perfectly.  I know better for next time right?  

I used two Power Poppy stamp sets for this project Feeling Fall and Nice Things to Say  (oh...and I should mention, the shaker part is actually a card and opens up so you can write on the inside of it.)  Here's a link to the tutorial I used to make this:  DarleneDesign.com) 

Below you can see it with the slide outs.  They are actually supposed to slide out further, but, after gluing everything together, I must have had a malfunction.  Since it's assembled, there is no way for me to figure out what happened.  But, you can still see the sentiments (mostly), so mission accomplished.

I colored the image with Copics, and aged everything with with Antique Linen Ranger Distress Ink to vintage it up a bit.  I have a few mini velvet pumpkin and these two little guys remind me of them.  Aren't they sweet?

Copics:  Mug ~ E97, E95, E93, Y17, E81 Gourd ~ BG96, BG93, BG90, E84 Top Pumpkin ~ E44, E43, E42, E40, E84  Bottom Pumpkin ~ E87, E84, E81 Stems and Shadows ~ T6, T4, T2, T0 Berries ~ YR27, Y17
