Starry sketch
As usual when needing to make a kiddie card, I used a couple of challenges to get me going - no idea why I struggle as much as I do with these but I daren't even start to think how long this took me, even with the kickstart!
The Daring Cardmaker's challenge this week is to use stars and the current challenge at Waltzingmouse Fanatics is to use this sketch.
Apologies for the quality of the photo - as any of you who have tried to photograph mirri card will know, it's an absolute nightmare! The card looks more "integrated" in real life but this was as good as the photo was going to get, I'm afraid.
I toook the liberty of changing the third rectangular panel on the sketch to a circle as it fit the space rocket better to make a sort of planet/moon thing there. I used marker caps to stamp the "craters" on there.
This is destined for a wee boy celebrating his sixth birthday, I hope it's OK!

This is just perfect for the challenges and the recipient! Love how you made the craters!
Thanks for joining in with us at The Daring Cardmakers this week
Just right for a six year old. I am sure he will love it.
It looks perfect for a 6 year old boy Joanne. I can imagine how much fun you had ;) xxx
iI love your card! Stunning piece! All is well balanced and brilliant! Wish to be in that rocket and fly to the space :0) Thank you for sharing with DCM 'Wish upon a star' challenge.

Great card for a kid! Love all the different textures and the moon-surface in particular. Thanks for playing along with the Daring Cardmakers!
I bet the 6 year old will adore this card; it is a fabulous card. I have problems making cards for any male of any age :)
Oops! I thought I'd already commented - I love this. The space rocket against that little moon is fab! Thanks so much for playing along with Waltzingmouse Fanatics!
Perfect for a 6th birthday for a boy - and the craters are brilliant! And the use of the tracing wheel, too!
Superb take on the sketch - love your moon!
Thanks for joining the fanatics.
