This card was given to my son in law after surgery.
I also used it for the Alpha Challenge letter U. Double challenge was 'Universe'. I stamped the big U without completely inking it, left some shading and used watercolors and white acrylic paint mixed with water to give a galaxy/universe look. I had to mask a stamp to use the 'I hope' and the 'are feeling' for the front.. and on the inside I stamped 'Out of this world!' with individual alphabet peg stamps. Not difficult, just time consuming. The stars are silver glitter die cuts. I cut around the stamping and adhered to the front. I also rounded the corners on the blue and black layers. It was fun. Thanks for looking! xoxo

All your efforts paid off. This is fabulous. What you did with the letter U is so creative and works great for the Double Challenge - universe. It looks terrific on the dark background with the stars. I like your clever idea to break apart the sentiment and have the 'out of this world' part on the inside. U rocked this challenge! TFS

Wow Jennifer! This card is just outstanding (and out of this Universe!). Fun! You are so incredibly creative and it shows in how you created this letter U to look like the universe and how you use selected words from stamps. The punch and stacked layers and all the sparkly stars really lend this card to feeling like a Universe. I know this is a treasure card for your SIL. Thanks for sharing this Jennifer- I so enjoy your card creations! Hugs! ~Karen.
