Falling Apples Interactive Card

I designed this card for a Craft Roulette challenge but I'd been brainstorming the interactive feature for a while. It's a tri-fold, see-through shaker. The apples hang in the tree when the card is closed and fall from the tree when the card is opened.

Project: A2

Colors: Sunflower Field

Element: Something Happy

Random: Unusual Color

Honestly, the most challenging part of this card was figuring out how to film it without too much glare. I'm still working on that. I'm hoping someone in the Photography department at school can help me with it. I've learned a few tricks, but acetate is a bear!

This is part of a collection of cards I've been creating using the Concord and 9th August 2022 release. I only bought a couple of pieces, but they are so versatile, I've been able to make a bunch of different cards without them feeling repetitive.
