Jetsons was and still is one of my favorite cartoons, so I fell in love with this set as soon as I saw it. Today's card showcases the little boy Elroy and his dog Astro. In the cartoon, you often see them inside a flying car, so I thought it would be cute to put them in the car and into outer space.
To make this A2 card, I first stamped the images and used the coordinating outline dies to cut them out. I then colored them with Copic markers. On the flying car, I used a craft knife to cut out the window and adhered acetate to the back and then adhered the boy and dog, all with double sided tape.

I created the galaxy background by combining seven colors of Distress Inks onto watercolor paper. I used Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick, Seedless Prserves, Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot. After adding all the layers of ink, I spritzed it with water and blotted it with a paper towel. Then I used acrylic paints in white and real gold to splatter on the "stars."
I used a 1-3/8" circle punch to punch out the moon using watercolor paper. I used Oxide Inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, and Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke to color the moon.
I used a Versamark Watermark stamp pad to stamp the sentiment on black cardstock and used white embossing powder and heat embossed to create the sentiment. I then matted it on white cardstock.
I adhered all the images onto the card front with double sided foam tape, mounted the card front onto black cardstock, and then onto the A2 card base and the card was done.
I hope you give this card a try. The stamps are so cute and fun to play with!
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a creative week!
