I've been inspired lately to try my hand at different card formats. Let's face it, the single fold card may be quintessential...but it is kinda boring. I decided to make a tri-fold shutter card. It's actually pretty easy, but the results are STUNNING! Now that I know I can do this type of card, you'll most likely be seeing some iteration of it in the near future...say...December for one of my DT projects. And just for the record...I didn't use ANY colored pencils on this card. I must be ill. I think I'll take 2 chocolate bars and go to bed.

Anywho, this is a birthday card for my "other mother"--my mother-in-law. She LOVES horses. I know the photos on this card look horribly blurry, but they're actually an animated, Lenticular, 3-D image that REALLY creates an image of FULL galloping movement when it's tilted up and down. Basically, it creates a mini-movie.
I know you've seen these types of images before--perhaps on 3-D postcards (which I used to collect as a kid). They were cool and they definitely looked 3-D when you moved 'em side to side...but these puppies...well, they're the cutting-edge in lenticular technology; and as such, deserved to be included on one of my cards. Here is what the animation for this particular image looks like. SO cool, dontcha think??
