Have a blast...

 

A short while ago I purchased a rocket ship die set. I thought it would be perfect for making some children's cards--boys, especially, would like this image, I think.

I started with some starry sky DSP (I definitely have to order more--it's been SO useful) as a background on my card front.

I really like the die set because it doesn't involve too many pieces. I cut the main part of the rocket ship out of metallic blue cardstock. The fins, nose cone, window frame and grill across the bottom were all cut from silver metallic cardstock. The window itself was cut from glossy white cardstock.

For the fire, I used orange, deep yellow and light yellow cardstock.

The clouds and and the sentiment were cut from white cardstock. I did some ink blending on the clouds before gluing them onto the card front.

I used my computer to create a sentiment for the inside.

I wish I would have had this die set when my five grandsons were little. I think they would have loved it. Now they are a lot more interested in cars than they are in rocket ships.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
