Out of this World Valentine

I forgot to post the valentines I made for my son's class.  Right before he walked out the door I remembered that I didn't take pictures of them so I apologize for the awful lighting. 

These were fun to make.  I challenged myself to color and shade all twenty-one rockets in a day so I could practice coloring with my Copics and become faster.  It worked!  The first one I did took fourteen minutes to color, but I quickly shaved my time and I began turning them out in a little over five minutes! 

Since the rocket die also has a star and a moon on it, I went ahead and used some yellow ink on the white moons as to not have to run the die through my cutter another twenty-one times.

To pop the rockets up off the note card, I used foam tape on the back, attached satin ribbon at the bottom, and called it a day…err night.

I had a great time making these and hope to play with my markers more this year.  Do you like coloring, too?
