"Want Candy"
card by Leigh

Today I'm sharing the "glow-in-the-dark" Alien card I made for my nephew, it's totally creeptastic and I think he'll love it👽


The Alien horde has landed and they're here for your candy👽


I used the Alien, UFO and Red Tape Snippets words from my new The Truth is Out There Somewhere sci-fi collection to create this scene👽  I made a Distress Oxides/Inks galaxy sky for my background and coloured the images with Prismacolor pencils.

Turn out the lights and the magic happens!


I painted the Aliens' eye highlights, the UFO port holes and lights and the Red Tape words with glow-in-the-dark paint....how wicked cool is that👻


 Uho...my X-Files' Aliens decided to join the horde!!!!
 
Neo to the rescue, LOL😻
 

I included the perfect sentiment inside my card too👻

    2. Thank you so much! Oh yes, Alien & Aliens scared me as a kid but now they rank high in my faves and have seen them all a million times! I'm a huge Alien fan!

  2. Now I am guessing Jurassic World doesn’t count as monsters although it is quite scary and I’m not sure if Day of the Triffords counts either. The most scary movie for me was the original Jaws film. I guess it depends on what you think “monsters” means. I looked up a list of Moster movies which included alien movies and supernatural.

    1. Haven't seen a scary movie in years.
      I do remember being frightened by
      Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte.
      A friend and I saw it together and
      it spooked both of us.
