Chewbacca Happy Birthday Card

Hello and thanks for stopping by!  Today I have a Chewbacca Happy Birthday Card for you that is quite different from other cards I’ve made.  This past weekend was my son-in-law’s birthday and he loves the Star Wars character, Chewbacca.  Therefore, my birthday card to him had to be related to Chewbacca!

Because I drew the elements of the card, I spent several hours (and days) drawing Chewbacca and his seat.  I would draw Chewbacca and the seat over and over and over, and my trash can is evidence! 🙂  I just could not reach a point that I was happy with him.  But, all good things take patience, so I prevailed.

Drawing Chewbacca was only half of the battle.  Coloring him was a nightmare! (LOL). I used copic sketch markers to color him and I’ve not used copics but a very few times.  I certainly have not used them for something this difficult. However, my love for my son-in-law pushed me to carry on.  And, so I did!  Now if you are an expert at coloring with copics, I’m sure you will have a lot of feedback for me on how I could improve on Chewbacca, right??? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Let me give you a better look at him.

The Chewbacca Happy  Birthday Card shows him standing inside the spaceship.  Can you tell that?  I do have to say that I really like the sky outside the spaceship’s windows! The Chewbacca figure hides this a little, but the center of the sky is lighter than the surrounding sky areas.  I wanted it to appear that the spaceship’s lights were shining into the darkness.  LOL  So how did I do?

The above photo shows the dimensions on the card.  The seat is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Up! Dimensionals and Chewbacca is attached with thicker foam dots. Therefore, he rests higher on the card than does his seat.

I hope you enjoy the card!  Any questions or comments are welcomed!

Oh, BTW, my son-in-law loved the card!
