I had a plan...and it so did not work, haha. So I tried this instead. This was my second try at the "galaxy background". Both tries were on Monday, haha. The first time I was hoping for fireworks, but I'll show you at the end why it didn't work out.
I still wanted to use the idea in my head, so I went with a starry sky instead. I used the sketch from The Paper Players for the layout. And I love this cute father and daughter image, watching the night sky.
Supplies:
Stamps: A Good Man, Little Twinkle
Ink: Real Red, Pacific Point, Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Memento Black, Versamark, Crumb Cake
Stampin' Blends: Light Basic Black, Light Pumpkin Pie, Dark Night of Navy, Bronze, Ivory, Color Lifter
Paper: Mint Macaron & Whisper White card stocks
I even stamped the inside to go with the outside!!
So, for my first attempt...
Since I was trying to do fireworks, I kept the colors bold- Real Red, Coastal Cabana, Pacific Point, Night of Navy. You just sponge it on your card stock, then sponge black ink around it for the "night sky". I then added these little flower centers from Colorful Seasons, embossed in white. But this is what I got....
I don't often throw something away but I sure don't know how else to use that, haha... what do you think? Have you tried any new techniques lately?
Tanya your colourful starry sky is great - congratulations on persevering, I know how frustrating it can be when you have a great idea but can't seem to make it work on paper! I feel a bit like that with Brushos - whenever I try, I just get a brown and grungy mess! Thanks for sharing your starry creation with us over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteTanya, this is so fun! I love your starry night and this sweet image! So happy you joined us at The Paper Players this week! XX
