Out of This World

I was recently commissioned by my daughter to make some birthday cards for my grandson's friends. Although they're not due just yet, the new challenge at AAA Birthday prompted me to get this one made early.

 

This card is for Flynn, who apparently is keen on space and very interested in the recent Artemis II mission, so I made the astronaut's suit similar to theirs, even printing a tiny NASA patch lol. 

There's plenty of mica stain in the background which gives a lovely shine and sparkle that you can see better in this second pic.

The sentiment on the inside reads 'Hope your birthday is out of this world'.

Materials used:

• moon masks - Tim Holtz
• distress spray stains and mica stains
• astronaut dies - stash
• alphabet dies - Stampin' Up Playful Alphabet
• other - blending brushes, foam squares, star die, silver glitter card, water spritzer, heat tool

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Out of this World

The current challenge at AAA Cards caught my eye this week.

I remembered that I had a spaceman die-cut image I'd made but never ended up using, so I searched through my stash and found it, thinking it would be perfect for this challenge. Thank goodness for hoarding all those 'I might use it one day' bits and bobs! 😉

The die-cut pieces were coloured using Copic markers and I added a little white panpastel to the astronaut's face mask to give the illusion of rounding. I love the planets as balloons but my fav is definitely the space suit, so adorable. My sentiment was done on the computer as I don't have a stamp set with this theme - something I probably need to remedy as my new grandson grows, lol. If this weren't a clean and simple card I would use SU's Stargazing DSP, but it makes a great backdrop instead!

Thanks for floating by (lol).

Cheers
