Galaxy Background Tutorial with Joy

Hi Divas! Are you enjoying the new release? It's full of tricks and treats. To join in the Halloween fun, Joy created a night sky background for the Spell Time Monkey from our digi shop. Read on to see how to recreate this adorable card.

Before we get into the background, let's focus on the cute digi stamps. I started by printing the images and fussy cutting them.

Then I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the images.

For the background, I added Barn Door, Shaded Lilac, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Inks to A2 watercolor cardstock. To make the piece a galaxy background, I colored the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink.

Next, I splattered some Copic Opaque White Ink on the background using a brush to create the illusion of stars. Then I adhered the images on the background and stuck the panel on a white A2 top folding card base.

We hope you give this technique a try. Share your galaxy background and other projects using the September release in our Facebook Gallery Group.
