WHAM! BAM! YOU GOT THIS! (1)

I had a clear idea of a card and it turned out exactly the way I wanted it to. That doesn’t happen very often. I used the Tiny Heroes stamp set from Mama Elephant.

 

 

I started by die cutting a circle with the Double Stitched Circle STAX from My Favorite Things. I used Tim Holtz water color cardstock and ran it through my Cuttlebug. I want this circle to look like the moon. I used Distress Ink Weathered Wood and blended it with my Mini Ink Blending Tool. After the whole circle was covered, I sprinkled some water on it with a paint brush. I dabbed the water off with a paper towel, which gives it a real cool effect. It actually looks like the moon now. I stamped the sentiment onto the moon with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

 

 

I took another piece of water color cardstock and stamped some stars onto it with Versamark Ink. I heat embossed it with Clear Silver Highlights Embossing Powder from Wow. Then I used Distress Inks to create a sky background. I used Chipped Sapphire, a little Peacock Feathers in the center and some Weathered Wood on the edges.

I then stamped all the little heroes and the cat and dog with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers, which was a lot of work. But here are the colors I used:

I die cut all the images with my Cuttlebug. I adhered the moon and all the images with foam tape to the background. I trimmed a dark card base to adhere the front panel to. I wanted a bit more sparkle, so I heat embossed the edges with Silver Embossing Powder from Ranger. I rounded off the two top corners with the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper, added some white dots to the background with a Uni-ball white gel pen and Wink of Stella to the masks.

 

 

I love this card, it's a perfect card to cheer someone on who's having a hard time or someone who is about to do a job interview.
