Pollycraft Monday Challenge - Fly me to the moon

Hi Everyone! Did you enjoy the Pollycraft Swings and Slides new release blog hop? The new digis will be available today in the Pollycraft shop. Paula has chosen the Challenge theme for us this week and it is a great one to dig out your Critters and Cogs images for...the theme is....

'Fly me to the Moon'

I decided to try something new for my card, I am pretty sure I have never used acetate on a card and I decided to make a moonscape with Zoom the little alien hanging over the edge of the moon resting on the acetate.


To make the card, I drew around a plate onto the front of a 6x6 card base to get the shape for the moon and cut it out with scissors. I then used this as a template to cut the moon from cream card. I stamped the sentiment and then embossed the moon and sewed around the edges with my machine.

I sandwiched the acetate between the two moon shapes leaving a tab along the spine which I stuck to the inside of the back of the card before covering it with Magnolia Star paper. I then printed, coloured in and cut out Zoom before adding him to the card with foam pads and finished off with a green pearl.
I hope you will be able to join us for this Challenge for the chance to win your choice of 10 Pollycraft digis. Make sure you check out the blog for lots of inspiration from the DT and to see how we all interpreted the theme.
I will be back later to announce the winners of the digis from the blog hop.
Have a good Monday.
