Crafty Collaborations Fantasy Blog Hop

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 

We are tasked with creating our own fantasy world project, however we may interpret  "Fantasy".

I did struggle with this topic a bit. The Nothing Better Than stamp set came to mind right away, although as I looked at the stamps, the solid color stamp for the inside of the outline of the drink started looking like mini flying saucers to me and that is when my idea grew from there. 


When I stamped the mushroom from the Happy Hedgehog and colored it in, I realized the 'grass' in the image could be colored to look like shooting flames from the 'mother' alien shop. You get where I'm going with this right?!? I added the same color to the mini flying saucers. That's when the sentiment came to mind. The New Horizon's paper already has a bit of an 'outer world' look to it, and was an easy choice to add as the backdrop for this card.
