With the recent launch into space I thought this was an appropriate time to release the aliens. This silly Alien is zipping around space wishing you a blast on your special day. Paired up with a fun space background and the Connected Oval Frame, I thought it was a perfect combination.
Creating the Card
In order to create the background I have found that using glossy paper and an airbrush machine with your Copic is the best success. I suppose you could use glossy paper and apply the ink straight from the refill but the results will be different. Once the paper is covered I spritzed with rubbing alcohol to make the texture.
The background was cut using the Connected Oval Frame and then I die cut a second piece in white and inlaid it into the sky. Once that was complete and adhered to the card base I colored and cut out the space dude, rocket and planet.
In order to give it some dimension I popped up the alien and sentiment using foam tape.
I love all the funny little characters in this clear stamp set and know you will too. All the links are below.

The theme is very apt!! The background is just amazing
That’s a great card, don’t have alcohol markers, mmm? will have to experiment.
