Butterfly Challenge R is for Rocker

The theme for Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge is R for Rocker card

 and she gives instructions on how to make one here. 

This is the second time we have had R for Rocker. Mrs A gave four ways  and the first time I did three ways. 

Version 1

Version 11

Version 1V

These were my first three rocker cards:

This time however I have done version 111 and I will link this one to the Butterfly challenge.

The wheel is as follows:

I used all the colours and added the ribbon on the top.

When I had made the basic stage, with the green and patterned paper layers, I thought it looked like a Noah's Ark...

So I started looking for animals - the first one I found was the Paisley Silhouette Elephant from Bugaboo. I printed two of these on a patterned paper and cut them out. I added one to each side.

I decided to make Paisley butterflies out of hearts from Stampin' Up's Paisley Prints and a centre using my Big Squeeze. At this point the card will rock like this:

The sides of the card form two channels and I wanted to put animal figures in here - I thought it would be nice for a child recipient to be able to move them in and out.

I stamped animals from Stampin' Up's Wild About You on the patterned paper and cut them out.

Because I have used elephants, lions, giraffes and crocodiles - animals of the Serengetti - I am also adding this to Leigh's Hop

Happy Crafting!
