My project today features Space Fun paired up with some scrap designer paper from my stash and a cuttlebug retro circle embossing folder.  After I stamped all of my images in memento tuxedo black ink onto white card stock and colored with prismacolor markers, I cut everything out to adhere separately to a dry embossed blue panel using glue dots.  In order for the dry embossing to show more effectively, I lightly stippled bliss blue ink over the raised edges, as well as the sides, before stamping and punching out my saying.  The inside of the card says "Sorry I forgot"... perfect for a belated birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc.

My second card also has the images stamped in memento black then colored with prismacolor markers and the images cut out before adhering to a black card.  I then dusted off a couple of cuttle kids dies I bought on clearance several years ago, you know just in case I'd need them someday, and die cut the planets and stars before punching the silver silver stars.  Finally I added ice stickles to everything to finish it off.

Challenges submitted:
