What a fab site for today's Inspiration Challenge! I was really drawn to THIS. I used to live in Houston, TX which happens to be Space City & if you're ever there, be sure to check out the NASA Space Center...it's amazing!
Anyway, for my bg, I started w/ black & since I wanted it shimmery, I dug out some long neglected Opalite inks & a stippling brush & added the Milky Way looking areas. I used the stars dies to cut a reverse mask then sponged the stars onto the area w/ the platinum ink.
Then I die cut the black panel w/ the curvy border & added the die cut moon, ship & astronaut images. The greeting was stamped onto a large star & I also added some shimmery black stars in the blue band. The blue c/s has a kind of light, felty texture look to it.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, this is so fun. Your stars came out so much better than mine. Your images and card are wonderful!! Love space things: movies, books, museums so this would be a wonderful card for me. Hugz

All of your cards are so beautifully done, Julie....and this is no exception. Your coloring is fantastic...metal looks like metal. Like the bright spot of the flare of the rocket for contrast.
