"Happy Vacation" Kinetic Card for The East Wind DT!

Howzit Everyone!
Our 2nd challenge for the month of September began today over at The East Wind Challenge blog.
Challenge #63 theme is "I Like to Move it, Move it" and I designed this fun kinetic card featuring TEW digi called Vacation.

Isn't she cute!  She's so very happy to be going on vacation she can't stand still.
 Here's a little video clip showing the swinging movement of the girl holding her suitcase.

The photos below show the various back and forth positions of the movement too.

I also used one of The East Wind's background digis for my scene called Into the Woods

In Photoshop CS6 I enlarged the background digi quite a bit and then added the digi girl layer.  I erased the parts of the image that I didn't need and also drew in the missing parts of her skirt that would be revealed by the swinging action of her arms.  I then created an additional layer of the girl and erased everything except the areas I needed for the moving part of the image.  I also needed to draw in her hair on her left side.  I then printed everything out on Neenah solar white cardstock and coloured her with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  I added  subtle colour to the background with Derwent Pastel pencils blended with a Dove blender pen.  I fussy cut out the girl, determined her placement and made a tiny hole in the background panel.  I then adhered a tiny brad to the girl and secured her to the background panel.  I matted the image onto black cardstock and then a folded card made from white cardstock.  I then completed my card with paper flowers and pearlescent green self adhesive pearls.

Here's a closer look at her, isn't she sweet!
