I approximated this week's colors by using Distress Oxide inks in Fired Brick, Tumbled Glass, and Peeled Paint. I needed a birthday card for our friend who just turned 40. Heâs a big guyâalmost like wookiee sized. Everybody calls him Chewie. So I needed a Star Wars card. It might be hard to see the colors in my background, but I do love the look of Distress Oxides on black paper.
I sponged a sort of aurora look on the black and then splattered stars across the sky with white acrylic paint. The Chewie and Han Solo bear digi stamps are so cute, arenât they? I got them as a prize from 2 Cute Ink. Then I was left with the question of how to make this card a 40th birthday card. So I did some googling and found the perfect sentiment. I created the sentiment in Microsoft Word and saved it as a PNG file for future use. If youâd like to use it on your cards you can get the file on my blog: The Stamping Actuary

That is the perfect sentiment for a lover of Star Wars. Love your aurora sky and cute Star Wars guys. As usual, you have me grinning ear-to-ear. Fabulous card.
