This cute astroboy/alien combo is a Chickengirl digi image I won last week. This was my first experience with digis, which I found tricky to work with on a variety of levels. I colored the image with colored pencils (but couldn't use my favorite Gamsol technique because the solvent kept dissolving the toner). I also clear embossed the "glass" visors of their space helmets.
This is also for several challenges (links below), including to use a background stamp (I used SU Linen on my dark blue layer) and an "It's Simple" challenge which stipulated *no DP* and *no embellishments*. That was harder to do than I thought! I kept wanting to add things (like brads) or use cool swirly (designer) paper. Darn! But still, I love how it turned out.
Accessories: CM corner rounder punch, SU large oval punch, SU scallop oval punch, small star punch, scissors, dimensionals, colored pencils, sponge, clear embossing powder, buttons (for "stamping" the rings on the gray layer)

this is super cute Emily, it's very hard sometimes not to use those embellishments, I try not to use them when I make a kids card, and sometimes I just forget and think afterward, oh I should have used a couple of brads or buttons. I blame that on age, lol. You did a fabulous job with all those challenges, you go girl, TFS
