Today I have a 'galaxy' card for you. It's actually a nebula not a galaxy hence the quotations. I've found that using metallic and plain acrylic paints with a sponge is a great way to make space backgrounds.
Materials used:
- White and navy card
- Black, metallic blue, metallic purple, gold, silver, and white acrylic paint
- Sliver shimmer spray
- Nesting circle dies
- Black embossing powder (Ranger)
- Blue, black, purple and green glitter
- Versamark ink
- 'Dare to dream big' sentiment stamp (Kaisercraft)
- Black gel pen
- Star confetti
I made the 'galaxy' piece using the paints with sponges to dab on the colour. Beginning with a layer of black and adding on the colours randomly over the piece. Once all the colour is down I lightly sprayed the piece with my homemade shimmer spray to give the whole thing a shimmer. I then watered down the white paint and splattered some 'stars' across not only the piece but everything on my desk too. I also added a few crosses for bigger stars and the extra dot here and there.
I die cut a circle large enough for my sentiment and created my own 'galaxy' embossing powder by combining the glitter with the black embossing powder in another little container. I then stamped and embossed the sentiment and added dash lines with a black gel pen.
I adhered the galaxy piece to a navy card base with the sentiment circle on top using foam tape. For the final touch I added a few small star confetti pieces with multi medium in matte.
That's it for today's card. See you next week!
