Out of This World

This is a 4 1/2"x6 1/4" card. I made it from some shimmery dark blue cardstock. I cut a piece of white cardstock at 3 3/4"x6 1/4." I then used an EK Success border punch to punch the two sides of the white piece of paper. I then cut another piece of the shimmery dark blue cardstock, at 2 1/2"x6 1/4." I embossed it using the Stars embossing folder and my Cuttlebug. I cut a piece of white cardstock at 3/4"x2 3/8." I stamped my sentiment to the white piece. The astronaut is cut from Life's a Party. He is cut at 2." I used some white gel pen on the face shield of the helmet, then added some glossy accents. The balloons are from Wrap It Up. They are cut at 2 1/2." I then used true blue, x-mas red and yellow Stickles on the accents of the balloons. I used pop-dots to adhere the astronaut and balloons. I finished off the front of the card with three star shaped buttons at the top left of the card. I used my computer to create the inside sentiment, which I printed on white cardstock. I then trimmed it to 4 1/4"x6." I used the same star border punch on the inside as well.

I made this card for the following challenges:
