Hello from the Glenn,
I am back with another Electic Ellapu design team card. November’s theme is “Anything Goes. My DT card has a galaxy background made with
Distress Oxide Inks. I am really please
at how it came out. I used 5-6
Distress Oxide ink colours including Black Soot to make the background on
Strathmore 140lbs cold press watercoloured
paper. I think what really made
it come to life is using Tim Holtz’s Distress Paint (Picket Fence) and my fan
brush to make the white spots. Once it
was dry, to keep the colours from moving (if it got wet) I sealed it with some
Distress Glaze. I added some Wink of Stella Clear to some of
the dots to make them glitter just a little.
Out of all the stuff I have in this craft room I could not believe that
I did not have one stamp that had anything to do with space! Well, it just so happened that our local craft
store The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie, TX was having a great sale today. I found a Lawn Fawn stamp set called “Out of
this World” that was just perfect for my card. If you are ever in the area, it would be well
worth the trip to stop by the store. Other
supplies I used for the card are 110lb White CS from Michael’s Recollection
brand, Stampendous White embossing powder, Versa Mark ink pad, and Momento
Tuxedo Black to stamp the sentiment .
The sentiment is from a Stampin’ UP stamp set called Bring On the
Cake. I’m not sure if it is retired but
I know I’ve had it for a while. The
finished card is 4 x 5 ¼, slightly less than an American A2 card. I think this is a great card for your little space
enthusiast or even your big one…lol.
Thank you for stopping by,
I hope you’ll give the galaxy background a try and I look forward to seeing your inspiration in
the November challenge.
