Here are the challenges:
I combined the sketch with using glitter and Stickles and came up with this beauty! LOL! I pressed alternating widths of red tape on the main panel and by peeling first the 1/4" strips, added the silver glitter. After burnishing then tapping off the extra, I repeated the process on the 1/8" strips with the gold glitter. The rocket I stamped, colored and fussy cut. I stamped the alien then the rocket again over it. colored the window, cut that out and glued to the rocket. I added Stickles to the flame for more glittery sparkle. I even tried to stamp the 3 star cluster stamp in Stickles. It's hard to see - it looks more like glitter blobs in the background. (oh well!) I stamped the outline star stamp in white a few times also. Made a little banner and used some glittery brads then stuck that on with some foam squares. Pretty fun card to make, although I have glitter everywhere!
I usually finish the inside of the card, but I'm waiting to see what I'll use this for. I'm thinking it's either going to be a graduation card or a moving-to-a-new-home card. I have three nephews and a niece graduating High School in June and my older brother just put his house up for sale. I'll have to wait a bit to see how to finish it.
That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great rest of the day!

ReplyDeleteI love this card!!! The first thought that came to my mind was "how bold!" Then after the initial surprise, I had time to analyze the rest of it and noticed you already used an appropriate sentiment to describe it. haha!
ReplyDeleteamazing!!! love all the sparkle and the way you used the sketch!
ReplyDeleteOK, you live, you learn, and now *I* know not to stamp with Stickles. They may not look like stars BUT it still had a neat effect! And loose glitter! You really went boldly :)
