Welcome to a new challenge in The Male Room, and this week it is Science Fiction! I have to confess that this had me totally stumped for a while. There was nothing in my stash that seemed to be remotely sci-fi. Eventually I found some I found some super files in the Silhouette on-line store of planets and aliens. So my card was born! Lots of inking for the background, then a planet and an alien cut out of scraps of cherry cobbler, real red and old olive cardstock. The lettering was cut in vinyl(non-SU). The background was inked with brushes using so saffron and bashful blue with a light touch of midnight muse.
The stars were found in my stash . It's amazing what you find that you've forgotten all about when you have a good rummage. After all that I was really please with how it turned out! Lots of scraps used so a visit to the
Playground is called for!
Much better than my first idea which was to use one of SU's retired stamps of a telephone box in blue - Dr Who. I also vaguely remembered seeing a card on Pinterest using the penny farthing that had been repeat stamped to give the illusion of movement, and thought I could do that with the police box to make it appear as if it was just arriving/leaving!
But I really didn't like it but thought I would show you anyway!
