Moon Man Birthday - Stampin' Up!® Moon & Back

   I'm a few days late in posting for the new CAS Colours & Sketches challenge but I've got a card to share with you today.  I was supposed to get back home from the Stampin' Up!® OnStage event in California on Sunday night but my connecting flight through Dallas got cancelled and they couldn't re-book my flight until Tuesday.  So a bit of unexpected time in Texas threw off my plans for stamping on Monday!  Oh well, I guess you can't help what the weather does.  A silver lining of the looooooong layover was that I got to spend the day on Monday with my friend and downline in Dallas and we stamped and created and chatted and that made an annoying travel situation so much better!  

  Check out the sketch:

  Didn't Joanne give a fun layout to work with?  The little notched space gives room for a lot of different possibilities!

  The Moon & Back stamp set is a new one in the Online Exclusives and I thought a sweet little space scene might work well with the layout.

  

  I started with a Basic White thick card base, then a square of retired Everyday Skies DSP with the notch made with a circle punch.

  The moon man is stamped in Basic Gray then colored in with Stampin' Blends.  The sentiment is from Banner Sayings and is stamped in Night of Navy on a skinny strip of Balmy Blue.  It's popped up on dimensionals following the sketch.

  I added a few punched stars using the Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper as well as adding Wink of Stella to the moon man's face mask.

  I hope you'll check out the Design Team samples and then add your creation to the gallery!  Remember to keep it Clean and Simple; minimal layers, lots of white space and uncluttered.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
