In a Galaxy Far Far Away

With a special birthday coming up I had to find just the right image, and I really think this is the perfect pick. This little guy comes from the Galactic Friends set by Alota Rubber Stamps. The first time I saw it used was on Stamp Owl’s (Frances) blog, and if you’ve visited her site already then you know what a brilliant card designer she is. (she tempts me to go out and purchase every stamp she uses!)

I used this week’s Basic Grey sketch by Tara G, along with their Granola and Ambrosia papers for this card. I also used their Glazed Brads, which I just love that they’re coordinated to the paper sets! You can find the Basic Grey week 9 challenge: HERE

What I used:
Stamps: Galactic Friends by Alota Rubber Stamps
Paper: Basic Grey (Granola and Ambrosia), stamped on Papertrey Ink
Ink: Memento, Copic
Accents: Glazed Brads by Basic Grey, Diamond Glaze, pop dots
