Lost in Space

This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge website ~ The Pajama Squid ~ was suggested by Kelly (aka schirmcat) of the Gingham Girl.  She loved the whimsical designs and great name … and I did too.

My card was inspired by this fabulous Space Bibby Mom N Mia Quilts.  I loved those fabulous space themed designs, as well as the contrast of the yellow and orange, so those are the elements I incorporated into my design.

I stamped Blip, Bloop, and Rocket from the Starving Artistamps Urban collectionin Versamark ink on yellow cardstock and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I added a tiny Hero Arts sentiment in the window of the Rockets.  Then, I used my ranger blending tool with Tangerine and Pumpkin Spice inks to cover the entire piece of cardstock.

I trimmed the panel to fit a 4"x8" card and used my ticket punch on the corners.  I finished with sheer orange ribbon and a punched sentiment using the same emboss resist technique.  II used a scallop punch twice to get a more masculine medallion.  I tied several smaller pieces of ribbon around the knot to get the effect behind the sentiment.

I hope you find inspiration.
