Time Out #288

Time Out has a fun challenge this week especially if you are a Star Wars fan, although you don't have to do anything related to Star Wars.  Just use your imagination. 

One thing I remember about the movie is the opening credits and that's the direction I took with my card.

I had a panel on my desk that I had inked up with Distress Ink and it wasn't going in the direction I wanted.  I took it, added more color and topped with Black Soot ending up with a galaxy looking panel, especially after I used Hero Arts Unicorn Spray to splatter some stars.   The letters are from Memory Box, cut in yellow.  

If you need inspiration, the Design Team has a variety of ways to use the theme on a card.  Be sure to check them out.  The winner of the challenge will receive store credit to Topflight Stamps.

Fusion - Galaxy

I did a true fusion at the Fusion challenge this time, having fun with a galaxy background.

The sky has more variations in color IRL but it still shows up great on the screen.  I had intended to make white splatters but pulled out my HA Unicorn spray just to see what it would do.  I'm glad I liked the results because once I sprayed it was all over, literally. ;)  The world is from C9 and the sentiment from Altenew.

I dedicate this to all my followers and commenters.  You do indeed make my world a brighter place.

Just Us Girls #423 - Trend Week

Sue is our host this week at Just Us Girls and she has picked a great challenge for us for Trend Week.

There are so many ways to do galaxy and night skies and I'm sure you'll find one that will work for you.

I used Distress Oxides for mine, starting with Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade and Fossilized Amber.  I added a coat of Faded Jeans and topped it all with Black Soot.  A toothbrush and watered down acrylic paint made the stars.  The sentiment from MFT is heat embossed on vellum.

Last week I neglected to welcome the sweet and lovely Carol Mayne to our team.  She makes such fabulous cards and you will be thrilled with her creations as well as the wonderful, supportive comments she leaves.

Cathymac is our guest designer this month and she has a wonderful card for you as do the rest of the Design Team.  Check them out for inspiration and then start playing around with your inks to make a galaxy card.  We'd love to see what you come up with. If you are a January winner, you are eligible to be our guest designer in March.
