The theme for this month's My Favorite Things Birthday Project is balloons. It's been a while since I inked up any of the cuties from the Space Explorer stamp set, so I pulled out the balloon toting astronaut for this card. After coloring the image with Copic markers, I used the matching die to cut out the image. I made a space-like background with some blended purple and blue distress oxides, drizzling the panel with water droplets to get a starry speckle across the panel. A shimmery white circle with a debossed polka dot panel was adhered to the lower right corner of the panel as a moon. I trimmed down the edges of the circle before adhering the panel to a dark blue card base. The colored image was adhered to the panel using foam tape for dimension. I stamped the set's birthday themed sentiment on a contrasting red cardstock strip and used more foam tape to place the text at the top right side of the card. A trio of silver sequin "stars" sprinkled around the astronaut image completed the design.
