To the Moon

Happy waltz day, WMS lovers and I am thrilled to be able to join you all on the dance floor! :) This month is all about buttons! If you happened here by accident, head over to the 'Mouse House to get started!

I decided to use my half pint heroes set along with the big stamp from the Free Spirit - Boy set to create this cute space scene! I have a ton of vintage rhinestone buttons that sure came in handy to embellish the blast from the rocket ship!

I embossed the blast with silver, glitter embossing powder, and attached the buttons with glue dots. I always cut the shanks off of the buttons so they sit nice and flat. I colored the rocket ship with my Copics and fussy cut the moon and stars which I made sparkly with my Stickles! The card base is a deep, shimmery navy that I think looks just like the night sky! I'll take this compliment - my husband said this was "Awesome! - Probably my favorite card ever." :)

Off to waltz with you, cup of coffee in hand, and can't wait to see what you've created!

Supplies - Free Spirit - Boy, Half Pint Heroes (WMS), Card Stock - Select White, Navy Shimmer (PTI), Stickles, Copic Markers, Zots, Embossing Powder - Zing Silver with Glitter (American Crafts), Ink - Basic Black (SU!), Versamark, Buttons (vintage, eBay)

    I love this Jen...such a fun card and I think we much have been channeling each other with our image selection! HA!

    This midnight blue paper is the perfect background for your celestial design.

    Such a cute card, Jen! I love how you used that swirly circle pattern to make the rocket exhaust. (With it bedazzled so sweetly, it shouldn't be called that!) Those vintage buttons are so great!

    Hi Jen,

    This is sooo pretty!! Love the stamp you used for behind the rocket!! Never bought this stamp, 'cause I didn't really have an idea on how to use it, but this is so gorgeous!!! Love it! And perfect on the dark card!!!

    Hugs, Wendy
