Out of this World!

 Hello Tea Timers!

Michelle from the Design Team and today’s card is something out of this world using a stamp set from the new release. We have two kitties off on a galactic space adventure with a little mouse stowaway in tow!

Supplies used:

• Adventures Awaits!
• Stars - Happy Trails
• Planets - Simple Circle Dies, Home Is Where The Heart Is

When I saw this stamp set, I had a million and one ideas in my head! I knew I wanted to do something different and I had also been wanting to do something space themed and so this was the perfect opportunity to combine the two together.

To make the card, the background is an ink blend of Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, Twisted Citron and Black Soot Distress Oxides - when ink blending, it looks like a mess but trust the process! I then added an abundance of metallic silver water colour splatters to give it the outer space feel.

As usual, all the images where stamped, coloured with alcohol markers and highlighted with a white gel pen. To give some details on how I created the planets, they were done by tracing the inner circles of the 2 smallest Simple Circle Dies with a black finer and then adding 'planet' details. For the rings around the planets, they are are actually the rug from the Home Is Where The Heart Is stamp set with the middle part cut out - shop your stash as sometimes the most unlikely stamp is just the one you need!

As there was already a lot going on in the card, I kept the sentiment simple but still visible by using white heat embossing powder on black cardstock.

Everything was glued down with liquid glue and the main car image was propped up with some foam tape. A finishing touch of glitter was added to the stars and the rings around the planets to give it the extra shimmer.

I loved how the card turned out and I can only imagine what new things that these 2 explorers have seen! I hope you enjoyed this adventure too.

Thanks for reading,

Michelle
