Space Adventures Together

Hi! Michelle from the design team here and for this week’s post, we have two little space explorers off on an adventure using a stamp set that you wouldn’t normally think of.

Supplies used:

Rain or Shine Mice

Planets & Cheese Moon - Simple Circle Dies, Home Is Where The Heart Is

Sentiment - Adventure Awaits

I am always thinking of ways to get the most out of my stamp sets and it was actually the cute little boots the mice are wearing that gave me this idea - why not turn them into space boots?

To make the card, I stamped out the mice and added the space helmets around their heads by drawing a circle with a black finer liner. I coloured with alcohol markers and added highlights with a white gel pen.

The galaxy background was ink blended with a mix of blues and a touch of pink, and then splattered with white acrylic paint to create stars. The planets and the delicious cheese moon were made by die cutting circles out of the 'Simple Circle Dies' and then tracing the inner part of the circle die with a black finer liner before adding details and coloured.

To help build the scene, I added some soft ink blended pink clouds to ground the mice and some stars to give it the fun, whimsy feel. I kept the sentiment simple by using white heat embossing powder on black cardstock.

For finishing touches, I adhered the mice on with foam pads to give extra dimension of them floating on the clouds as well as adding glitter for the extra shimmer.

This was a really fun card to make and I hope it has inspired you to look at your stamp sets differently.

Thanks for reading,

Michelle
