May the Fourth Be With You

 Rejoice Geeks and Nerds alike! May the Fourth is with us!

Ok, so maybe that was a little over the top... maybe. But, I have to say, as the date loomed closer, I got more and more excited. I made sure that my fluffy bear warrior shirt was clean, my friends all knew what was coming, and of course, made cards! 

 I have had a few droids and a young, upcoming mind warrior, from Kindred Stamps Galactic Adventures: The Sequel, colored for a few months and just couldn't decide what to do with them.  Well, my inspiration came at last!  I decided on a desert theme for my first card. I used a piece of gold shimmer cardstock and hand cut a dune shape out. I wanted lots of layers and used two different blues to sandwich a layer of white. Finally, I took Brilliance Copper ink and stamped the sentiment from Kindred Stamps Galactic Adventures.


My next card, I wanted to do some light swords for the background. I stamped out a patterned background and colored the handles with a grey Copic. Next, I used Nuvo's red jewel toned drops and I filled in the long parts, then I filled in the rest of the paper with Copic R89 to give a dark red color.

I colored in the villain in varying shades of grey and black and fussy cut him out. I felt like he needed to stand out from the background a bit so I trimmed down a piece of paper and used silver Nuvo drops and kinda swirled it around and filled the paper. I mounted it all on a dark grey glimmer card base.


I hope you all enjoy some nerdy fun in a galaxy far, far away today! If you need some of these stamps for your own collection, come grab them here, if it's your first order at Kindred Stamps, you'll get 10% off.
