Have a Blast!

I'm hosting at Little Red Wagon this week and this time, the theme is once again inspired by a Def Leppard song (my 2024 challenge list inspiration). The song is Rocket - and I'm looking for anything with space (or even the sky).

I made this tiny gift bag (and it really is tiny, holding a gift card without height room for much more although about half an inch deep) using products from Your Next Stamp. The bag is a die cut and I used the Blast Off stamp set for the rocket and sentiment. The background panel is cut from a generic die although the size wasn't quite right so I ran the panel through my die cutter with the same die on it's side to get the panel dimensions I needed. I had lots of fun colouring the background with various distress inks (black, purple and blue), smooshing the ink onto the panel using some repurposed bubble wrap. I then added some white gel pen "stars" and finally added three die cut stars to finish things off. 

I'd be thrilled if you joined in this week's challenge too! You can find the link up over at Little Red Wagon - and there is inspiration from the rest of the Girlfriends there too!
