A Space Birthday

Today I am back with a fun card that shares a new technique for me- alcohol inks and Yupo Paper.

I started by taking a piece of Yupo paper and my Ranger Alcohol inks in the following colors:

Pool, Pink Sherbert and Purple Twilight.   I slowly dripped the ink on my paper allowing it to flow just a bit then took my applicator and blended a bit by dropping up and down.   I did not want a super blend, but rather wanted it to look like a night sky.    I was surprised this being my first time using at how quickly this dried. 

I used A Boy's Dream as well as the Moon Background Stamp from Whimsy Stamps. 




Once it was dry I used my A2 Layers Combo dies  from The Stamp Doctor to cut my base layer and my sky. 

I colored my Moon and spaceship with Copic Markers:
W5, W3, W1, T5, T3, T1
B39, B37, B24
YR68, YR65, Y17

Next I fussy cut both images out (I did cut off the top of the space ship/rocket.  It was very small to fussy cut and I id not like how it looked.


I added some foam tape to the moon and adhered to my card base.   I then flipped over and cut the edges that were overhanging off.   I also added some foam tape/dots to the rocket.   I stamped my sentiment on my white cardstock and after cutting down I inked the edges with Lawn Fawn Deep Sea ink.  Once I adhered it to the bottom I placed my image over the end.    I then used a white gel pen to add "stars" to my background, and then lastly I finished by adding some glossy accents to the glass windows on the ship.   



I hope you enjoyed this fun card!  I can't wait to continue to play with these stamps, dies and inks and see what else we can come up with!
