I am loving making backgrounds using the ink smushing technique. For this one I covered a whole back ground for the card to make it look like outer space. I used Squeezed Lemonade, tumbled glass, salty ocean, blue print sketch and Black soot distress oxides
I also added a lot of sparkle to the entire background by flicking wink of stella all over it and then putting some yellow bird glitter gem drops and for that extra special touch I also added some Banana split glow in the dark gem drops, so when the lights go out this card still stands out.
I have combined two of the new Heffy Doodle stamp sets for this card. The cute little spaceman and space ship are from the "Spaced out" stamp set. The sentiment and Moon are from the "You're weird" stamp set.
They have been coloured with the following spectrum noir tri-blends:
Moon: Ice grey
Space ship: Orange, Citrus green and Ice grey
Spaceman: Orange, Earth brown, fair skin and Ice grey
I put the space man on a action wobble so he looks like he is really moving in space.
I am entering this card for the following challenges:
