When I saw the Moon die and the Written in the Stars stamp set, I immediately pictured a galaxy night sky background for these images. It's been awhile since I made a galaxy card, so I decided I needed a refresher on the technique. I found a really easy tutorial on Youtube by Kristina Werner and set out to implement those steps. It was super EASY!

I trimmed some of my Altenew watercolor paper to an A2 sized panel and broke out my Altenew pan watercolors. I began by painting random colors, one color at a time.

I ended up with a patchwork of different colors on my card panel.

Next, I painted on the black watercolor paint. Kristina painted hers in a circular motion, so I followed suit, painting randomly but allowing color to still peek through in places.  I actually wished I had added on additional layers of black as it wasn't as dark as I really wanted it but, that's ok. I'll try that next time. I did blot with a paper towel here and there if I felt like the paper was too saturated.

For the stars, Kristina recommended transferring the water spritzed white paint to an acrylic block and flicking the paint off the edge of the block with the paintbrush. It worked incredibly well and I'll definitely be trying that again.

I ended up trimming down my A2 painted panel a bit and layering with black cardstock on my card. My moon die was cut twice, once with white cardstock and then with black cardstock. I adhered them together so the white is offset just a bit behind the black moon. It gives kind of a light effect, like the shine of the moon.

My sentiment was heat embossed, stamping with Versamark clear ink several times using my Misti stamp positioner, then sprinkled with white embossing powder and heat set with my Ranger Heat tool. I fussy cut it and popped it up on adhesive foam, along with the moon.

I adore scripture stamps and this card just makes me so incredibly happy. The universe is vast, and everything in it!
