Extraterrestrial Birthday.

I've made a fun card today, inspired by the challenge at CAS,-ology, where the clue word is 'Extraterrestrial'. Do you remember that little felt alien I used on aChristmas card acouple of weeks ago?  Well, here is his little green friend!


I also used the sketch from Seize The Birthday, although I have rotated it.  It's the first time I've entered this challenge, although I've been meaning to, if only to encourage my masculine card making - I live in a house full of males so guess I'm going to need them.


At first I used a white card blank, but then I thought a martian green card would be better. I embossed the card with an EF which has stars and geometric random shapes, very 'alien'  The glitter line adds to the space  theme but the best bit, I think, is that holographic card onto which I have layered my sentiment, printed onto DP. My son says it's very cheesy!
The card is white inside, easy to stamp a Happy Birthday greeting.
