Joining the Paper Players this week for their theme challenge:
A couple of weeks ago the challenge was, Sports and sadly I realized I had hardly any stamps that were sports related so I missed that challenge.
Guess what? I have very few space related stamps as well. Although I did find some stamps that I want now but couldn't get in time for this challenge. - I did look through what I have and decided to use some stamps from the August KOM from Unity (Phases) - So since it's their first time being inked up I'll also submit to NBUS#55
Here is my card:
I decided to check out a local craft store to see if they had anything space related. I did find one set that I purchased but decided to go with my Unity stamps instead. - However I did find this cool piece of designer paper there (American Crafts) that reminded me of the phases of the moon so I decided to base my card colors on the patterned paper.
Card Base: Pretty Peacock - Next layer - Patterned paper. The moon phase stamp was stamped on Basic White card stock with Memento Tuxedo black ink. Then I used blender brushes to add in the colors. I used: Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock and Bubble Bath.
I punched a border of Petal Pink with a large scallop punch. Next I added the sentiment underneath it and applied the moon piece over the top. I used 3 small pink gems (Unity) and applied Wink of Stella on the moon phases.
See how shimmery it looks! - So pretty in real life.
That's it for this card. I hope you enjoyed my take on the Lost in Space theme. - Thanks for stopping by.
This is DEFINITELY one amazing card, Ida! I LOVE the moon phases and of course, how sparkly you made it! Those papers and stamps are perfect! I think this was a challenging theme but you nailed it! Thanks for playing!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. You did well for not having much space related stuff. I didn't notice it at first but when I scrolled down to type my comment I could see the shimmery look on the moon. Love that.
