The background was made using the Space Fog Stencil along with Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon, and Squeezed Lemonade. I have so much on top of the background that it is hard to really see it. I really like this background because it gives the maker some guidance to create a flowy background.
The shaker element is created from the Tiny UFO Die Set. When I make shakers that aren't a simple shape such as a square or a rectangle, I like to use the die to do it. For this card, I cut out the upper and lower part of the space ship eight times and glued each layer together to create the well for the shaker elements.
To assemble this piece, I used a piece of vellum, cut with the die, as the background to tone down the background inking on the card. I also used the die to cut the acetate that seals the shaker elements inside. Before I sealed everything up, I adhered my Alien, which was cut from the Tiny Alien Die, and sprinkled in my litter shaker pieces, from the Celestial Skies Mix.
For the top of the shaker, I used various colors of cardstock. I like the way this die allows the maker to mix and match the individual pieces - the combinations are just endless.
I wanted to tether the Astronaut to the space ship, so I used Lawn Fawn's Stitched Trails Hot Foil Plates Lawn Cuts. These are the dies that cut out the foiled trails. I cut the "rope" four times to create some height and then covered it with one cut from foiled cardstock.
The Astronaut was created with cardstock scrap using the Tiny Astronaut Die. He is such a cute little fellow!
Once I adhered everything to the card, I needed something for the bottom right corner. After shopping my stash, I grabbed my Mini Winter Greetings Die Set and used it to create my sentiment. Perfect!!!
That pretty much does it for this card.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!!!!
