CAS card: Mangalyaan

Hello,
I have made a card for the historic success of Mars orbiter mission, commonly called the "MANGALYAAN" by the ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation).
Am including the Wiki link here:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Orbiter_Mission

Here's the card.





I've cut out a pattern paper from "sunrise, sunset" collection to make the dome representing mars & inked the edges.

I drew the rocket myself (referenced from the clipart in whatsapp :P) colored with markers & inks, cut out and stuck on another piece of cardstock to get the white border around & also to make it sturdier.





Wrote the sentiment on vellum sheet with pilot black fine liner pen. Colored the two 'O' to depict mars & earth. Stuck all elements on a plain black sheet, vellum at the back with tape, rocket with foam squares.

The white starry dots are made with gel pen. I guess I cluttered them too much towards the end &  wish I could have an undo button in real life :(

Hope you liked it.  Cheers.
Create. Have fun.
