Out In the Galaxy

Hello! I'm out in the galaxy!   The background of my card was actually the result of an accident. Sometime ago, I spilled a bottle of Hero Arts Metallic Blueberry Mist and quickly grabbed some cardstock to absorb it and ended up with several panels for backgrounds.  On this piece I sponged on some Distress Oxide Inks including Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans and Wilted Violet. The result was perfect for a card for the current Fusion Challenge Galaxy.  Added some stars with a White Gel Pen and Clear star pen.  On a strip of clear vellum, I stamped a Hero Arts sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed with Silver EP.  Die cut stars from Gold and Silver metallic CS with Sizzix die.  Embossed the top star with Swiss dots EF for some more texture. Assembled all the elements on a Silver Metallic card base following the sketch on the  Fusion graphic below. 

Challenges:

Here Comes Santa

Hello!  My card depicts a scene of Santa leaving on his annual trip with Mrs. Claus waving him on his way. The stamps and dies used are all from Hero Arts October kit.  For the Sky,  I used White CS
that absorbed some accidently spilled Metallic Blueberry Mist on my work desk.  The Mountain layer was cut from special paper included in the kit.  The die cut elements were all colored with Copics.  Added snow with Snow Maker.  This was a fun card to create.

Counting Sheep

Welcome!  I just had to make a card with the cute Sheep stamp and die in the August Hero Arts kit.  I made a Sky background inking a white CS panel with Distress Oxide Ink Faded Jeans and misted it with Metallic Blueberry Mist and Gold Shimmer Mist (from kit) and added dots and stars with a Pilot Metallic Silver marker. I stamped the sentiment Dreaming of You with Versamark and heat embossed with Wow Silver EP. Stamped clouds on Vellum and heat embossed with White Puff EP and die cut.  Stamped the 5 Sheep on white CS with Black ink and die cut.  Attached them with pop-up Glue Dots to the background lauer. Attached to a Metallic (Mirror) Silver card base and finished with a single Star die cut from the same Metallic CS.
