Out of space...

• Kirsty Wiseman - terrestrial friends
• Neenahclassic crest cardstock
• Copics-G46,24,21.YG61. R24,27,29. B14,16,18. A selection of Course marker's
• Watercolour cardstock

• White paint
• My favourite things- brush stroke birthday greeting dies

I cut a piece of watercolour cardstock to create my space background. I inked the cardstock using the brighter colours randomly spread to fully cover the cardstock. I then added the darker ink over the top to again cover the card. For the stars, I watered down some white acrylic paint and flicked this on to create a fine splattering over the ground. Once dry, I trimmed the background down into two panels to fit the card blank. I then stamped, coloured and fussy cut the rocket from Neenah cardstock. I also die cut a sentiment from watercolour cardstock. To soften the white, I added light patches of ink using the blending tool, then used the dotty stencil to produce a crater effect over the top. I glued the background onto the card blank using double sided tape. I then added the sentiment using liquid glue, and finally positioned the rocket on foam pads to complete the sketch.

I did this card mostly on serif craft artist, using the good life digi kits. I designed my layout ready for printing on to good quality cardstock. I then trimmed and matted onto a black 6x4" card blank. I printed out an extra rocket and cut it out to layer on top of the other using foam pads. I love serif for the times when you just want a play without using up all your cardstock, it can also be a quick way to create personalised cards. I do like to print out the sheets and do some matting and layering, sometimes adding extra layers of decoupage or embellishments... even just a touch of glitter makes a digi crafted card feel more handmade!!
