Yesterday I needed to make my TCP Design team card and I needed a little bit more inspiration for it, so I searched "Space" in the inspiration site and found this. It helped inspire my colors, all the stars, and the extra white gel pen details.
I've never seen a wiper card before, but really wanted to try it out. I got a bit messy with mixed media for my backgrounds. I cut the pieces from plain black and light blue cardstocks. Then I just dipped the pieces in Dylusions sprays and iridescent ink. Of course the cardstock ended up all warped, so I had to cut the pieces again out of white cardstock to back it and reinforce it. Then I made a decision that I regretted for a minute--I applied some stars across the sky with texture paste. Well, once I had the card assembled, the wiper kept getting stuck on the stars. I had to sand down the stars in it's path. Crisis averted and it still looks good! This card is going to my three year old neighbor for his birthday tomorrow, so I cut three stars to add behind the fluffy white cloud that says Happy Birthday. The silver stars are actually cut from the silver lining of an envelope. Do you ever open up Christmas cards and notice how pretty the foil inside the envelope is? I find myself dissecting a lot of envelopes just for occasions such as this.

This is just adorable for a three year old and I am sure he will love it. I will have to pay more attention to my envies now that you mentioned the foil inside.
