Space Flight with Brutus Monroe

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing this outer space card with

Space Flight Cutting Dies

Galaxy Glaze

I love this set of dies.  There are a ton of dies!  It

makes layering elements so much fun!

First I cut a piece of standard size Raven Card Stock in

half so I was working with a piece that was 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".

Using a foam blending tool, I pounced on all 4 colors of

Galaxy Glaze:  Red, Blue, Green & Purple!

These look a bit cloudy going on, but they dry to a shimmering

finish!  I went over the panel 2 times with the Galaxy Glazes.

When the Glazes were dry I heavily splattered the panel

with white acrylic paint.  I cut the panel to 3 1/4" x 8 1/4" and

adhered it to a Whitewash card stock slimline base that

measures 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" that was covered with Elegant

Essentials in Sterling.  Then I sprayed the front with an

iridescent spray to make it really sparkle.

I decided to make the rocket first.  I wrote down some

substitute colors from what was on the packaging.  I

pulled out Glitterstock, Elegant Essentials,

Glamour Gloss and Mermaid Skin.

I tried to glue as I went along.  There were lots of little die cuts

and I didn't want to lose any!

Instead of filling all the little holes with paper, I used gems instead!

I worked on the alien next!

Unfortunately when I was cutting apart the dies, I lost this little

guy's mouth in the Great Black Hole that is underneath my

work table.   Can anyone else relate?  I improvised and cut

a die cut in half for his mouth instead!

I cut 3 of the planets and used different card stocks and color

combination for all of them.  I used the "hi" die and shadow layer

from the Christopher's Sentiments Die Set.

I adhered all of my die cut elements to my card.  Then I added some

silver glitter star die cuts, and small star sequins.

And my card was finished.

It's so fun not to stamp on a card!  It's just amazing what a colorful

and sparkly card can be made from die cuts!  Find this die set an
