IC242 Out of this World
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: ejkeaton

 For today's IC242, Novica. I was inspired by:
http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=110564

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.

Thanks for taking a peek!
Emily

Good job on all those challenges, and you created a delightful card any future astronaut would love! The clear-embossed helmet idea was great.
