Pinball Card




Hi everyone!

I have a fun card today!  Do you remember those tilt ball mazes you often got as a party favor when you were a kid?  You know, the little round plastic ones that you held in your hand.  They usually had a picture of a goofy clown and you were supposed to get the silver BB to fall into the hole where his nose was?  Yah, those things!  I really don't know what they are called but I'll just call them a tilt ball maze until someone corrects me. Anyhow, I made one as a card!!!

Here's a short video of it in action!

ETA - I'm thrilled to have an Honorable Mention from CASology for my card!




I'm entering this card in four Five challenges. 
The current MUSE challenge #100 where Michele Ferguson wants us to "accentuate the negative".  What better way to accentuate it than to have 3 silver balls rolling around in the negative space trying to land one of them in the center of the bright red heart (similar to the inspiration card)!  One Direction has a song called Rock Me so I squeezed in the optional twist of song lyrics (although I think Pinball Wizard would have been a better one!)
SSS Wednesday challenge where It's a Guy thing.  This is totally a guy thing!  The challenge of getting one of the silver balls in the right hole - what guy could resist? The red heart was stamped with Barn Door DI.
Winnie & Walter are having lots of fun challenges for their 1st Birthday Bash.  This is going in for the Shaker Challenge.  It's a shaker with a twist, but still a shaker, right?
Casology has a NBUS Challenge - It's the first time using my SSS stitched circles die.  I wasn't sure if a shaker card could be CAS but I'm going for it.
ETA- NBUS Challenge #3 Anything Goes - my NBUS is my SSS stitched circles dies & Taylored Expressions embossing folder.
