This is for Lydia's Challenge. For all the details go to the DTGD Forum ..but you'll need to be a Fan Club member. It's sooooo easy, so take the DARE!
I've had the Brushos water color bg (& a couple more) finished ever since I signed up for Lydia's challenge, but then I was stumped about what to do with it. I'm not entirely sure I did the bg right, but it is what it is, lol. I guess it's my interpretation of the water color galaxy tech (had to google it!).
Lots of ideas came to mind, but this is nothing like what I first envisioned. I couldn't find a moon image like I wanted, so I drew one, colored it w/ Copics then stamped a few images on top w/ the cantaloupe ink and cut it out. I typed the quote, printed it then used a star die to cut it.
The bg was stamped around the edges w/ one of my oldest & best loved stamps...Starry Night by ANM, & white embossed. After a few die cut layers, I added my star & moon & some little stars & crystals. While not what I started to make, it's growing on me
Thanks so much for looking! I hope you've enjoyed this week of Dare to Get Dirty challenges! I know I have! Closeups & Copics are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Wow!! I'm blown away by how stunning this is. I love the background - the colours and the heat embossing are gorgeous. And the die cut stars and hand-drawn moon are fabulous, not to mention the perfect sentiment!

Julie, your cards are the most amazing works of art! May not be what you envisioned when you began, but certainly turned out extraordinarily gorgeous!
