Wish You Were Here

I am still fooling around with the Final Frontier stamp set by DoodleFactory. 

I misted the black circle and the blue square with Perfect Pearls and water.  I love how shimmery it makes the cardstock.  What looks like fuzziness and lack of focus on the card is really the shimmer of the Perfect Pearls.  OF COURSE, I had to add Stickles, too!

The card opens with just the circle (matted with a circle cut out with deckle edge scissors –that was NOT misted).

The planets and the meteor are popped up on foam tape.

All of the coloring is with Copic and Prismacolor markers.

Heavenly Pleasures

There is a tree on the way to my daughter’s school that the leaves have turned crimson, but the leaves on the ground (most are face down so we see the back side) are a wonderful magenta!!  Paired with the colors on the trees around the magenta, I came up with the color scheme for this card:

•  Stamps: House Mouse Image—THANKS STACY!!; Mini Positive Words (Starving Artistamps); Victorian Leaf Panel (Rubbernecker Stamps);
• Ink: StazOn Jet Black; Tim Holtz Distress Ink-Spiced Marmalade;
• Paper: Dp (?); Prism Cardstock;
• Other items: flower, button, ribbon (May Arts); Prismacolor pencils (with baby oil to blend); Stickles; Perfect Pearls (misted on flower);

Here is a close up to see the details.  Namely the Stickles.  The flower was misted with a Perfect Pearl and water solution.  I tried to get the shimmer to come out on the photo—but that seems to be beyond my photographic capabilities.

The layout for the card was from Get Sketchy:

I hope you have a great weekend!
