My cousin, CJ, is turning five tomorrow and this is the card that I made for him!
As soon as I saw Greetings, Earthling in the new SU! catalog, I knew that I would have to get it! It is so perfect for kid cards, especially little boys!
I stamped the aliens on watercolor paper with black stazon and colored them using the watercolor with markers technique:Watercoloring With Markers Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers. I used some blue bayou reinker and a blender pen for the little blue guy!
The colors were inspired by these cool We Are Memory Makers jumbo eyelets that I have had for awhile. They are perfect boy colors! The blue eyelet is closer to buckaroo blue (retired), but I don't have that color and I used blue bayou instead.
I used the SU! backgrounds Texturz Plates on the kraft panel. The sentiment is stamped in black stazon directly on the kraft cs. The little aliens were cut out and are adhered to the card front with dimensionals.
Thanks for looking....earthling!

Very cute, he will love it. I agree that this stamp set is wonderful for little boys - if my boys were younger I would have gotten it too! I love how you put the aliens on an angle as it creates great interest on your card. The matching eyelets are a great added detail. TFS!
