To the Moon and Back

Welcome.
Meet today's card. 
My husband and I are celebrating our 37th Anniversary...where did the years go?
My DH is totally a star gazer; we have seen the NeoWise 3 times this week. NeoWise is a comet only visible for a short time now and won't been seen again for over 6 thousand years they predict.
I thought he would like a starry night card.
So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock cut 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches, my round acrylic block, Distress Oxide inks, Rays stencil and water mister.
• I took my round acrylic block, rubbed on some Fossilized Amber DOX ink, sprayed with water and pressed onto my white card panel.  I continued that same process using Peacock Feathers, Seedless Preserves, Salty Ocean, Cracked Pistachio, Carved Pumpkin and Wilted Violet DOX until the panel was covered with colour.
• I laid the Rays stencil over the inked bkg and rubbed over it with Faded Jeans Archival ink.
• I stamped the sentiment with some Versafine Clair, then clear heat embossed to help make it pop.
• I rubbed the edges with some Black Soot DOX inks to intensify the border of the panel.
• I splattered the edges with water, then white and black paint using my Posca pens.
• I mounted the panel onto some black cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
• Lastly, I added some black gems.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
