So my BIL likes Star Wars and I found several different characters to make on Pinterest. I settled on this awesome R2D2.

The base is from a premade set I got on clearance. I used a Sizzix embossing folder for the base as well as the design already there. Next, I cut a piece of Not Quite Navy from a Nestabilities Deckled Rectangle before spritzing with Vanilla Shimmer and Silver Foil Smooch Spritz. R2D2 is Basic Grey, Whisper White, and Not Quite Navy and is punched from the 1 3/8" square, 1 3/8" circle, 1/4" circle, the word window punch, and hand cut pieces. The octagons are the smallest Nestabilities octagon that I traced the inside and hand cut. His eye is a faux diamond that is colored with copic 100 black marker. A little gel pen was used to highlight R2. The sentiment is from SU's retired Grunge Rock and is stamped in Dove Grey Staz-On. I used a square punch to make the notches. Both R2D2 and the sentiment are mounted with dimesionals.

magnet inside card |
Inside I added a magnet I made from My Favorite Things Die-namics set. I cut it on light-weight cardboard, then again on black, before running them both through my Xyron sticker maker so they would stick well. I also inked the edges of the cardboard with black ink. I stamped the coordinating sentiment in Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. I added a magnet and used a couple of glue dots to place in card.
Thanks for looking!
