Back to Basics have a challenge I've not seen before - use one sheet of 12 inch patterned paper - so I had to join in.
I made four cards (I could have made another if I hadn't ruined some of it) using this paper from Carta Bella Space Age:
For my first card I made the paper into a stepper base (it's really good strength paper and double sided) . The robot was cut from another sheet in the range and the sentiment is an Avery Elle stamp.
I'd also like to enter this into:
Here I used two stamps - the rocket one is from a freebie magazine set a few years ago, and I paper-pieced it with the patterned paper. The sentiment is by Clearly besotted.

Here I cut a card with 'Explore the Universe' on it from another sheet in the range and layered it onto a panel of my sheet . On my Silhouette, I cut out the rocket. The flame is cut from the reverse side of the paper.
Finally, these stamps are from the freebie set I mentioned earlier, stamped directly ont the patterned paper.
