Happy Birthday To My Friend

If you're like me, I live for moments when a friend says, "I need a birthday card for our friend tomorrow!" It's the moment when time doesn't matter because your superstar cardmaking skills have been pushed into the limelight in a time of need.  This was that time (YAY!!).  We were planning to celebrate a colleague's birthday at work and it was a special moment because it was the first birthday celebration since COVID lockdown one year ago.

I had one evening and one morning to pull this card together from scratch.  For what I envisioned, timing was tight!  The requirements I put on this card was (1) gnomes and (2) galaxy background.  There were no time for mistakes so my cardmaking skills were put to the test.  Luckily I came through!  I envisioned an aurora rather than a galaxy (SMH) but I feel it still turned out lovely:
