Hope you have a blast - space and aliens 6in shaped card -  Day 52 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I had coloured in the blue topper and it reminded me of a space scene so thought I would use it to make this fun card that could be suitable for anyone interested in aliens! How I made this card:- As I mentioned above, I made the circle topper by cutting a piece of stamping card using a Tattered Lace die and then a slightly larger one in black card.

I also took one of Hunkydory's precut 6" x 6" square panel of gold mirror card (I did cut out another frame from the centre as it seemed a waste to cover it all up) and glued it to the centre of the front of the card.  **TOP TIP** Use a microfibre cloth to get rid of any dirty marks on the mirror card! ...
