Here is a fun MDS Card that would be great for either a man or a child interested in space.
MDS SUPPLIES:
My Digital Studio Software OR other graphics program
Blast Off Ensemble – Digital Download #130862 $19.95
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Choose a “Greeting Card” size 4-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Portrait
2. Choose Midnight Muse as your Background Paper. Save after each step.
3. Choose the Blast Off Background Papers-Pattern 12 as a Page Layer. Crop to 4″ wide and 5.25 High.
4. I used a circle Punch to “Punch out the Corners”. Just select the 1.25 Circle Punch. Color Fill with Midnight Muse. Move into the corner to “Punch out” the corner. Copy (Ctrl or Command C) then Paste (Ctrl or Command V) and move into another corner. Repeat until all corners are “Punched”.
5. Paste one more Midnight Muse Circle. Resize it by dragging the little gray boxes until it is the size of the Mat in the center of the card. Copy and paste this circle and Color Fill with Whisper White. Resize it so it is nicely matted on top of the large Midnight Muse Circle. Position these Circles in the the center of the card.
6. Select the Blast Off Stamps. I choose the planet and colored it Midnight Muse.
7. Choose your Sentiment Stamp. I colored mine Real Red.
8. Now to add the Drop Shadows: (First # is Opacity, Second is Blur)
~Sentiment stamp: 25%, 5
