Craftin Desert Divas - Life on Mars - Trifold Card

Hello there,

Today I'm sharing a trifold card I absolutely looooooved to make! When I saw these cuties, I immediately thought about sending them on Mars so they kinda could be the first humans walking and having fun on this planet!

I first started by creating the background. For the ground, I used several layers of masking paper and three different distress inks to color all the parts. And for the sky, I simply blended three colors together. I took inspiration in a picture I saw on Google.

I colored my images using the same colors for each one of them. I thought the color red would be perfect for them. And look at this little monkey, isn't he too cute in his space suit?!

Then I blended the same colors as the ones I had used for the sky so I can die cut coordinated stars from it. I also die cut those tiny stars from gold glitter paper, and started to attached all my elements on the card: the monkey and the girl on the top part, the boy with the flag on the middle one, the boy in the space car on the bottom part, and the stars.

I stamped my sentiment on the middle part, and added a bunch of light brown and gold dots on the darker areas of the ground to finish the card.
