Creative Nugget: A galaxy background was created with Oxide Inks on mixed media paper. The star was cut from a white panel with my Scan 'N Cut and a Stitched Rectangle frame was then embossed on the panel. A few stars and a sentiment from the Over the Moon stamp set were silver embossed. A pair of astronauts were colored with Copic Markers, joined together with silver metallic thread and popped onto the card. A few gemstones were added to finish the card.
The newly designed By the Sea stamp set was used to create my second sample.
Creative Nugget: The Adirondack chair image from the By the Sea was white embossed on a Kraft panel and the umbrella paper pieced with paper from my stash. A frame was cut from white card stock and the sentiment embossed. The shells were colored with Copic markers and added to finish the card.
