You're Out of this World

Update 03/10/2021: What fun! This card was named a Top Three winner at AHSC #410.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #410 has been luring me to participate all week but I was unable to respond. Late today I managed to create a card for my grand-nephew using the AHSC sketch for inspiration so decided to add it to the challenge. This challenge opened on Monday, March 1, and closes on Sunday evening, March 7, 2021.

One of my nieces has two wonderful sons, ages 5 and 7. I enjoy making them fun cards and they are always excited to receive snail mail. This card is a companion to a similar card I made for another upcoming challenge. That card is for the 7-year old and won't be published until March 15. This card is for the 5-year old. 

I stamped a few images, colored them with Copic Alcohol Markers and fussy cut them. I added a panel of purple patterned paper to a slimline card base, then with thin foam tape added a die-cut slimline stitched rectangle with wonky squares cut from a celestial map pattern. I did some stamping of stars and the sentiment then added my fussy cut images using thin foam tape. With a punch, I created some star confetti from silver glimmer paper, attaching the stars randomly to the card front. The inside was decorated with stamped stars and two additional images.
