I came up with this idea as I was starting to pull the retiring stamps off my shelves. I thought it would be so cute and that young boys would love this card! So many retiring things on this card!

I stamped the astronaut (Reach for the Stars) and the guitar (Rock Star) on the Holographic DSP- the astronaut on the plainer silver and the guitar on the colored one. I used Versamark for both. I embossed the astronaut with black embossing powder and the guitar with silver embossing powder. Die cut. I cut the astronaut’s right hand away from his body a little bit so that the guitar would go under. It’s really hard to get a picture of the Holographic paper that looks like it does in person! Here’s one that looks a little better.

A die cut a piece of Very Vanilla with the Basic Borders dies- the one that is perfect for making hills, or in this case, a moon! I used the dies from Reach for the Stars to give the moon some craters.

I die cut the planet and the rings from the Stargazing DSP. The background paper is also Stargazing DSP.

The “happy birthday” is from the Enjoy the Rhythm stamp set. I stamped with Memento on the planet.
