I have a couple of cards for you today starting with this adorable set from Birdie Brown, BB Space Explorer and BB Space Explorer Die-namics. I did a watercolor wash for my deep space sky with Peerless Watercolors on Ranger Watercolor Paper and splattered stars using Copic Opaque White. All of the images were stamped with Black Licorice hybrid ink on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers. The large moon was cut from watercolor paper, colored with Peerless Watercolors, and stamped with the sentiment, then popped up on foam mounting tape. The little guy’s tether is silver cord and attached to him and behind the large moon.

To add some realism, I added Glossy Accents to his helmet. The card front was all adhered to a Sweet Tooth card stock base.

First I did a pale watercolor wash with Peerless Watercolors on Ranger Watercolor paper, then stamped the flowers by inking the stamps up with Cornflower dye ink, Jellybean Green dye ink, and Brick Red dye ink, spritzing with a Mini Mister, and stamping. I adhered that to a Sweet Tooth card stock base, added a Single Stitch Line Rounded Rectangle Frames Die-namics cut from Sweet Tooth card stock, and popped it up on foam mounting tape.

I cut Friend Die-namics from brushed copper card stock and popped it up as well.

And that’s it from me for Day Four of
MFT’s February Release Countdown! Thanks so much for stopping by—see you back tomorrow for Day Three!

  10. Barbara, what a great birthday card! It really does look like a birthday card with your addition of balloons floating in space with the planets. I love how you used glossy accents for the face mask and how you used a silver cord to represent an oxygen tube! Your friendship card is so cheery with the blue, brick red, green inks plus the copper sentiment. Thank you for sharing.
