Cricut Cardz Challenge #65

For this week's challenge make a tall card (9"x4") using any cartridges, theme or colors you would like.  I made this card for my father in law's birthday.  He is literally a rocket scientist, so I thought he would like this card.  I used Just Because Cards cartridge and cut the rocket at 10".  Other products used: Recollections cardstock, Hot Off The Press Tiny Words & Images Hot Off The Press Whimsical Words & Doodles, and Martha Stewart gold embossing powder for the stars.  Hero Arts stamped Happy Birthday image. Sad to say, even though I had the products (the embossing pad, powder and heat gun for months), this is the first time that I embossed and what a cool thing that is!! :)  Have to make a mental note to do that more often. The inside of the card was done on computer and decorated with Teacher's Sticker of the Day calendar.  Thanks for visiting me and I cannot wait to see what you come up with for the challenge.
