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)
