I'm not sure if I'm right on with the colours, but it's what I came up!
I put 2 nestie dies together and cut out the striped dp, which left a hole and also a piece smaller than the main opening. I printed the ship on a transparency and attached it to the striped piece. I cut another piece of dp, placed the oval in position and lined up the larger striped piece over top of the oval. Marked it and attached it in place. Attached the larger striped dp to the plain dp with the oval and voila!
Attached golder border stickers around the edge and then attached the sentiment. As I'm writing this, I remembered that I had wanted to put some distress inks on the beige dp (forgot!) and I also forgot to erase the pencil marker lines! Nothing to be done now as I have so much adhesive on this, it will never come apart!!! tfl and huge thanks to all the Teapotters who make a card for Sol! Will eventually get by to comment!

What a great idea to do it this way - NO ONE would ever know all the things you did or did not do, so stop worrying - Sol is so gonna love your card as well as all the others he will be receiving!!
