I have done some backgrounds on black with alcohol inks and one with wc, although it's different from this and I haven't used it yet. This was fun, thanks for this challenge.
If you haven't tried Joggles black cardstock, please give it a try. It can handle a lot of water. I used the 5x7, cut it in half so now I have an extra background. I used a lot of warm colors with some purples (the Cosmic Shimmer are metallic, which look great on black) and used a new Jane D. stamp set (new to me). Those beaded embellishments?? So old!!!!!!! They're self adhesive. Something old, something new.
I'm feeling a little lonely. Friends are cancelling events, I live alone, thank goodness for SCS and art.

Fabulous! I love all the elements! Times are uncertain, but it is great that this community allows us to be together (apart) and keeps us involved. Thanks so much for taking my challenge!

Jean, this is terrific! I love all the metallic (much better than mine!), and the "OLD" embellies. Yup. Living without contact is no fun! I just hope it's over sooner than I think it will be!

This technique seems so you...I love how yours turned out...I like the silver embossing and those funky embellishments. I'm with ya on feeling a bit lonesome...I'm by myself, too but I think it's great we have SCS to connect and share our art and thoughts.

The first thing I noticed about this card was the overall metallic shimmer and on reading your description, I can see my instincts were right on. Great cosmic look both from the bg and the stamped stars.
