Space Mini Circle Card (bastel-traum challenge #94)

Happy Friday! :o)

On October 15th, 2020, a new challenge started at bastel-traum and our theme for the challenge #94 is Background. :o)

I'm a bit late sharing my post here on my blog, but there is still 9 days left to join in the fun. 

The challenge started on October 15th, 2020, at 9 AM, CEST (UTC +2) and ends on November 15th, 2020, at 8:55 AM, CET (UTC +1). Find all the details about the challenge, rules and prizes in a challenge post (here).

And here is my take on the challenge: Space Mini Circle Card. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with a card I made for this year's World Space Week Blog Hop (here).

For my card I used a spaceship stamp from Altenew 'Space Travel' stamp set.

How I made my card...

I colored a background in watercolor technique using Distress Inks Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch and Black Soot. I used a thick watercolor paper for it. When I was satisfied with the color, I left the panel to dry on air.

After drying, I die cut a wonky stitched circle from the panel. I stamped the spaceship in black on the panel and colored it with a black marker.

I mixed a white tempera color with a bit of water and splattered the panel with it. I left the panel to dry on air.

After drying, I ink blended edges with the Distress Ink Black Soot to achieve more dramatic look.

Next up was the spaceship. I stamped the spaceship on a thin watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the spaceship, traced edges with the black marker and glued it over the spaceship that I stamped on the panel.

I made a card base from two circles that I cut from a black cardstock paper. I glued circles together on the top and glued the panel on the card base.

As a finishing touch, I drew couple white dots (stars) here and there on the panel using a white pigment ink pen and my card was finished. :o)

Across the Universe Card II (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hello everyone! :o)

My second post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down or follow a direct link here. :o)


Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I'm sharing this Across the Universe Card II. :o)

To create this card I was inspired by a song 'Across the Universe' by The Beatles, comic books and a card I created in January: Across the Universe Card. :o)

For my card I used stamps from two BEAUTIFUL Jane's Doodles stamp sets: To The Moon and Unicorn.

 

How I made my card...

I stamped the scene on a watercolor paper panel and colored everything in watercolor technique using Distress Inks.

I colored the scene during the 9th 30 Day Coloring Challenge by Kathy Racoosin of The Daily Marker. I shared progress of coloring on my Instagram account as well as in my preview post (here), but didn't share finished card until today. :o)

After coloring and drying, I masked images and splattered the panel with a white acrylic paint mixed with water. I left the panel dry on air. 

I glued the panel on a white side folded card base and my card was finished. :o)
